I tried this game with my group of high school girls (7th through 12th) of about 12 girls for gym class. I want to eventually play lacrosse but know that we need to work on skills before getting into a lacrosse game. I didn't read the full instructions to this game so we played it as follows:
The tagger can tag anyone with a stick who then has to give the stick to the tagger and now becomes the new tagger. I also said that after 5 seconds you had to throw or drop the ball if you have one. I needed something to make the girls move and also works on their catching and throwing skills. They loved this game and requested we play it again. I loved how it made most of them move and even the ones "safe" with a ball had to practice catching it. Thanks for the great idea!
