How to Play TV Tag

Regular TV Tag

• 1

  Gather a group of players and decide who is going to be the person who chases everyone else. This person is called "It."

• 2

  Run and try to stay away from the person who is "It." If they get close, yell out the name of a TV show and touch the ground. The player is now safe for 10 seconds and the "It" player needs to leave that player to tag others--no waiting around to tag the person when the 10 seconds are up.

• 3

  Avoid repeating a show you or any other player already mentioned. If a player can't think of a show or repeats the name of a show, the player becomes the new "It."

Freeze TV Tag

• 4

  Select a person to be the "It" who chases everyone around and tries to tag other players. Everyone starts running and the player who is "It" tags anyone they can.

• 5

  Tag a player by touching them, and they must stand in the exact position they were in when the person who is "It" tagged them.

• 6

  Run around to help the other players if not "It." Players become unfrozen if another runner tags them and yells the name of a TV show. Show titles may not be repeated.

• 7

  Continue the game until everyone is frozen or someone repeats a title already called. That player now becomes "It."
