HOW TO PLAY

Start here.

YOU’LL NEEDNothing
▶Watch Freeze TagPlayworks ↗
  1. 1Choose one or two taggers, mark the boundary, and set a two-minute round timer.
  2. 2Tagged players freeze in place; any free player can unfreeze them with a high-five before that rescuer is tagged.
  3. 3The taggers win immediately if everyone is frozen at once. Otherwise, the free runners win when the timer ends.
  4. 4Choose new taggers after every round; the final player tagged is a good first choice.

REMIX THE RULES

Complete twists.

Pose rescueA tagged player freezes in a pose of their choice. To release them, a runner must stand beside them, copy the pose for a slow count of three, and finish with a high-five. If the rescuer is tagged before the count ends, both players remain frozen; the round ends when everyone is frozen or time expires.
