How to Play 

Tips & Variations

No sitting on or hiding of tails!Sock Tag Variation: Also called “Tails.” Every player gets a tail, and they all play both offense and defense (trying to grab each other’s tails while also protecting their own). As with Dragon Tag, instead of having players sit out once their tails have been grabbed, let them perform a fitness activity instead. When that’s complete, they can rejoin the game and try to grab themselves a new tail from another player. Play until one player has all the tails, or for a predetermined time period.Giant Dragon Variation: Another option—helpful if you have a slightly smaller group of players—is to make just one dragon. The player at the head of the line tries to steal the tail, while the players in the middle try to stop her (without breaking the chain).
