Equipment needed: None

Size: 10+
Age Group: Varies
Activity Description:
1. Pick 1-2 volunteers. They must stand in the middle of a circle
while locking hands. These volunteers are to lock hands at all
times for they are considered THE BLOB!
2. On the outskirts are the free standers who must avoid being
touched by the blob. If tagged, you are to go to the end of the
blob connected with the blob by holding hands and tagging other
free standers.
3. Only the ends of the blob are the taggers
4. The more people you tag, the bigger the blob will grow! You want
to be the last person standing by avoiding being tagged by the
blob.
5. You cannot run outside of the given boundary.
6. You cannot run under, over or through the blob.
Leadership Considerations:
Activities like these require interaction along with communication to
come up with strategic ways of capturing free standers. Activity should
have at least two facilitators depending on the number of participants.
For safety reasons, all participants should have on athletic clothes
along with closed toed shoes. To accommodate everyones space,
activity should be played in a gym or open field. The facilitator must
set a boundary for participants if exceeding boundary they are
automatically apart of the blob. To avoid collisions or any other such
injuries, game should not be ran at a fast pace. Light jog at the most.
