It's better to do it by modifying the "tag" element. Instead of granting a point for tagging, it's better to just deny the point and return the bacon to the middle, otherwise the teams will focus more on making the other team grab the bacon so they can tag the bacon holder easily.
We call this as dogs and the bone .the bacon is the bone. There will be two teams and the teams should decide a number for each one of them .One team should not know the numbers of each person of the other team.There also will be a master (caller).the master will call a number and that respective number of each team should steal the bone.
The team on the left is team "a". Each team tries to get the "bacon" without getting touched. If the team that grabs it gets touched, the other team gets the point.
The two teams are way to close, they need to be further back. The game can be played inside of the gym also. Again, they are way to close, they need to be further back.
This isn't how I learned it at school 🤔 First we would be assigned at a cone marking what color like how you numbered the players ranging from red to purple Second one team would be called so purple for example would be called and both people on opposite teams would run to the bacon Third One of two things would happen, a standoff or one would grab the bacon and run back to their cone Forth One team would be called and if they took too long the caller would count down from ten and if they didn't get back the two teams would both lose Fifth we would be further from the bacon giving both teams a chance Finally sixth you couldn't just go anywhere spanning your teams cones, you had to go to *your* cone I remember this one boy I was at the same colored cone and I thought I wouldn't get him but I still was up for a challenge We ran at the pig and ended up in a stand off and I tricked him a few times but soon he got the pig and I was like the goalie in soccer or hockey blocking him from getting to his cone He tried to juke me multiple times but I was very sighted and kept getting in front of him. I tried to tag him and *RIGHT* in front of his cone my back to it he tried to get past me but I tagged him and I was super happy
