Favorite pe game back in elementary. Difference was we use a soccer/football field which was fun because it had more space to run around and not get tag easily.

This is one of the most requested games at my year-round day camp (second only to Dodge Ball)! Some kids call this version of CTF, "Rocks". We almost always end up playing best 2/3 because they just can't get enough!

Thank you so much for the great visuals and clear explanations. (I often send your videos to the parents. They then watch with their kids before camp so they know what's up in advance.)

The problem is students who get tagged may be put in jail for too long and lose participation and get bored. What I do with my class is if they get caught in order to get back in all they have to do is cross back into their half. That way no students sit out for too long and the game is very free flowing.

My class love this game!! I've renamed it "capture the egg" and have used a rugby ball instead, incorporated with rugby passing and tackling.

I am a first year PE teacher and need visual directions! These are amazing..PE central should buy these from you

We played with 4 teams/zones. Each had just 1 flag. The free zone was not surrounding the flag but about midway in the each zone along the wall. The hula hoop surrounding the flag was also "free", and a player could not be tagged if they had 1 foot in the hoop. Jail was sectioned off with cones.

This was almost exactly like I remembered back when I was a kid. Really the only a few main differences were that if I was in jail and one of my teammates came to free me from jail, neither of us were safe until we got back to the other side. There also wasn't any cones around the flags for a safe area, and each team had 1 player designated to be the flag guard and another as the jail guard. Granted we had about 25 players per team and used a football field. Oh how I miss being a kid!

No problem, I always enjoy putting new games up :D

Just played this at a Summer Camp and it went down really well! Great for all ages - thank you

My class LOVE this game! They ask to play it all the time! Thanks! :)

We didn't have a limit on how many people can be rescued from jail. Resulted in some chaotic jailbreaks.

Grade 3-8, just finished playing a game of it in college, was a blast.

The critter idea sounds great, I'll have to try that out with the kids!

this was the shit man. bruh we liked it so much we carried this fckin game the way to high school. shit was INTENSE.. we was tacklin people, slamming them on walls just for their damn flags. that sprint to the other side was dangerous💀💀 pe teacher did nothin LMAOO

[kmxtornado]

Thanks for the video. Very clear, but a few questions:
1. A saved player released from jail and the person releasing them must take a "free walk" to their side of the field or can they go for the flag again? When you do take a "free walk, " how do you identify yourself as taking a free walk? Raise hands?
2. How come a player can only be tagged on the opposing side of the field? Wouldn't it be more fun if any player can be tagged at any place on the field?

Flag PE ( flag comb not cones) you confusing me again 😭 it's orange in colour can also become a square with a thin handle from the left or a skinny handle

[maryturner]

This was the most helpful explanation!

[mcdamike]

Great explanations. I will be organizing this game next week in my summer camp that's if covid don't shuts us down.

[jeffrhonemus]

How many guards can you have outside the cones for the safe area? And, is there a rule for guarding the jails?
