Younger Class – Color Tag (Color Oni Game)

As the name suggests, “Color Tag” is a game of tag that uses colors.

The tagger calls out an easy-to-understand color, and anyone touching that color cannot be tagged—simple as that.

Once everyone has found the color and can’t be tagged, the game moves on to the next color.

It’s a great version of tag for young children who are learning colors.

Dribble Tag

Kaoru Mitoma shows astonishing speed in a 'dribble tag' game! He also gives advice to the kids at 'Mitoma Dream Camp 2025 supported by Google Pixel'.

This is a game of tag played while dribbling a soccer ball within an area marked off with cones or similar boundaries.

There are various rules for dribble-tag, but the type where both the chaser and the chased have to dribble is recommended, as it gets both sides really fired up.

Sport Tag

Sport Tag

It’s a pretty serious, competition-style version of tag.

It’s a team sport with seven players per team, and the side that collects more treasures from the opponent’s area within the time limit wins.

You can only tag an opponent when they enter your own territory, and tags must be done with both hands, not just one.

There are also tournaments, so if you’re interested, check it out.

Three-Color Tag

Ordinary tag works because there are two roles: the chasers and the runners.

So what happens if you split into three? It would surely become a more strategic and fun game of tag.

Let’s try a three-color tag game, an arrangement of the classic version.

First, divide into three color teams such as red, yellow, and blue.

Set it up so that red chases blue, blue chases yellow, and yellow chases red.

If you’re tagged by the color that’s chasing you, you’re captured and taken to the opposing team’s base.

You can add variations—like letting a teammate free you by tagging you, or allowing escapes when the number of people in the base reaches a certain amount—to make the game even more exciting.

Here’s an introduction to a line tag game that can help improve attention by making you focus on two things at once.

As the name suggests, you draw lines on the floor or ground to play.

Use vinyl tape on floors, or draw white lines on the ground.

Both the tagger and the runners can move only along the lines.

Try to flee and chase while making sure your feet don’t step off the lines.

Because you have to avoid getting caught while also keeping your feet on the lines, it feels more thrilling than regular tag.

can-kicking tag

Renting out an airsoft field for a serious game of 'Kick the Can'!! Can we outmaneuver the demon’s crafty tactics and rescue our captured teammates!? #64

Prepare an empty can and let’s play “Kick the Can” tag.

First, choose one person to be “It,” then have one of the other children kick the empty can.

Place the can inside a circle drawn on the ground and give it a good kick.

While “It” is picking up the can and returning it to its original spot, the children can hide.

Try to hide where “It” won’t see you, like behind buildings or trees.

When “It” spots someone hiding, they say, “I found you, [name]!” and step on the can.

Anyone unlucky enough to be found is caught by “It” and must wait inside the circle.

But there’s a chance for rescue: if a hidden child kicks the can while “It” is searching, the captured children are freed and can run away.

It’s a fun game where the outcome—whether “It” wins or the kids win—keeps things exciting.

Spider Ogre Tag

No.20 [Parent-Child Play / Boosting Motor Skills] “Spider Tag”: Have fun playing tag while strengthening core, balance, and stamina! The comical spider movements will bring out lots of smiles.

Here’s an introduction to Spider Tag, a game that can help build stamina just by playing.

In regular tag, you run either to escape from the tagger or to catch someone, right? That alone uses up plenty of energy, but Spider Tag takes it up a notch! In Spider Tag, the tagger (the ‘spider’) moves on all fours, while the runners move using their hands and feet in a position similar to a back bridge, facing upward.

Many people might find the runners’ position even tougher.

It offers a different kind of fun compared to simply running to chase or escape.

It’s also recommended for kids who are bursting with energy but can’t play outside, like on a stretch of rainy days.
