STORY:

VENOM SCENARIO

If an evading player is tagged they are eliminated

VIRUS SCENARIO

If an evading player is tagged they join the "IT" team.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

EVERYBODY'S IT: ALL players are “it”.

CONFLICT TYPE:

A 1P --> or <--- vs B 1P --> or <--- vs C 1P --> or <--- 1P vs D etc.

FREEZE / RESCUE TAG

CONLFICT:

A (1P +) --> △ (freeze, action) B (2P +) -->

B1 --> △ (to rescue - unfreeze, undo action) B2

△ = Change State / Mind

STORY:

When an Evading player is tagged they go IN DANGER

TRADITIONAL:

IN-DANGER ACTION: Legs apart, hands-up

RESCUE ACTION: Crawling through legs is traditional but can be changed.

NON-TRADITIONAL:

IN-DANGER ACTION:

Lines From The Play
Position
Action / Gesture
Emotions

RESCUE ACTIONS

Lines From The Play
Adjacent / Complimentary Position
Reactive Action / Gesture
Reactive Emotion

One "FREED" both players continue the game of freeze tag.

Try relating the pose, action to the production, project or basic acting. It can be a chant or a handshake, a dance, or a sentence. It can even be an upset emotional pose and the rescuer needs to counter the upset emotion. What matters is that one player is “frozen” in a predicament and the rescuer needs to save them with an action.

Example:

Captive / Rescue Tag w/ Sacrifice

Before playing Freeze Tag, Director gives a card to avoider players.

Only some cards have an X.

X cards decide players who will need to sacrifice

Sacrifice = When an evading team player rescues a player from frozen captivity, the rescuer becomes frozen and captive.

Discussion Questions:

How did it feel to give up your freedom to continue play when you rescued a teammate?
What was your experience before and after the event of rescuing knowing you had to become frozen when helping?

SAFE ZONES TAG

SAFE ZONES CONFLICT

A "IT" (1P+) --> vs Bs "Evaders" (1P+) --> (get to safe zone)

SCENARIO:

SAFE ZONES - A place where Evaders are invulnerable to "IT" player(s).

MECHANICS:

Set up SAFE ZONES around the playing space.
There is always an avoiding player in danger between Safe Zones.
One Evader allowed per Safe Zone at a time.
If an Evader in danger enters a Safe Zone they replace the current Evader in the safe zone.
The ejected Evader becomes the player in danger.
If you are caught you become "IT"

SAFE ZONE TYPES:

Spots On Floor
Books
Chairs
Trees

STORY:

Shipwrecked
War Hostages
Cat & Mouse

MULTIPLE EVADERS IN SAFE ZONES:

CAT & MOUSE TAG

CAT & MOUSE CONFLICT:

" IT" = CAT --> Evader In Danger = MOUSE --> (get to a safe zone)

SAFE MICE: Pairs Of Mice In Safe Zones (Mouse Holes)

MOUSE HOLE MECHANICS:

Mouse Holes are Safe Zones
Mouse Holes = TWO+ Mouse Players stand shoulder to shoulder and join elbows on a defined spot.
Mouse Holes are scattered around the playing space formation.
- - The Cat and Mouse must honor the Safe Zones as solid barriers.
  - Mouse Holes typically remain stationary. (This creates a feeling of a maze)
At any time, the Mouse Player in danger can enter a Mouse Hole Safe Zone.
When A Mouse Player enters a Mouse Hole, they join elbows with one Mouse Player of that Hole.
This pushes out the odd Mouse Hole Player from the Mouse Hole so they become the Mouse in danger of the Cat Player.
If the Cat Player catches a Mouse Player, they immediately switch Cat and Mouse roles.

NOTE:

- - If pairs are in a large circle formation, set boundaries outside the circle.

MOUSE IN A BOTTLE

CHINESE SAFE ZONE TAG

Mouse In A Bottle (CAT & MOUSE variation)

When the Mouse Player in danger enters a Mouse Hole and joins an elbow, a strange thing happens.
The Odd Mouse Hole Player pushed out becomes the Cat Player and the Cat Player becomes the Mouse Player in danger.

NOTE:

This is a great variation to keep the action moving and all players excited and participating if Cat & Mouse has too many players standing around a long time.

ENTER INSIDE

FOR LEGITIMATE REASON

PLAYER A: Needs to enter and come inside to get something or do something.

Must justify the item or action inside.

NEVER BY FORCE (because not fun, and law)

PLAYER A: Wants to use their house bathroom

PLAYER B: Does NOT want them to use their house

bathroom

MIGHT PLAY OUT LIKE THIS:

PLAYER A:

A: (Shows their predicament to generate empathy) Hi, sorry to bother you, but I really, really need to use your bathroom.

B: I'm sorry I don't know you.

A: I just want to go to the bathroom. I'm dying here. I left my house and was driving and...

B: Well, I typically go before I leave the house.

A: I uhmm. That's pretty cold. You've had emergencies... Sometimes you can't predict it.

B: I don't know what to tell you... I use the gas station? But if I feel I have an emergency, I try not to leave the house much.

A: I will be so quick.

B: How quick is quick.

A: Like likety split quick. The Flash Quick. Quicker than this conversation.

B: I'm not sure how comfortable I am with this exactly. So the downstairs is out of order which leaves the master bedroom so... I guess you are out of luck.

A: Oh please? I am going to go in my pants right now. See? You don't want to be the cause of that do you?

B: Am I though? I didn't make the choice of not going before I left their house knowing I have "emergencies."

A: It's a health condition. You can't fault me for that.

B: I'll let you, but I don't trust you so I'm going to wait outside the door.

A: Oh sure, but it might get uhmmm ugly. You don't want to hear that.

B: No I don't so... I guess I can't let you in then. It's just not going to work out.

A: Yes it is. It's fine. I'll try to be graceful... in the bathroom.

B: Fine, but under the condition you take off your shoes. I had the carpet cleaned. PROFESSIONAL SERVICE!

A: (annoyed sigh) Gotcha. I'm doing it. (Hopping around taking off shoes).

B: I've got to get going to pick up my wife from Book Club. Are you going to be much longer.

A: Lickety Split... you know. Just uhhh do you have like a candle maybe?

B: I'm not going to involve wax and fire into this "emergency."

A: Ok ok. I am just a little self conscious about it.

B: There's a candle in the washroom. Matches behind it. So my wife doesn't like waiting. Neither do I for that matter.

A: I am going to be so fast. I just kinda need some reading material. Is there any magazines or anything?

B: I'm sure there is something in there. But you should focus on getting this show on the road. Let's go.

A: I can't get this shoe off. Oh man, don't come over here. That's dangerous.

B: Just go. Just GO. JUST GO! Up stairs to the left. BE QUICK. I mean it. My wife is waiting at book club.

A: Thank you. Thank you. Thank you!

IMPRO:

STAY OUTSIDE

FOR LEGITIMATE REASON

vs COME INSIDE

The main protagonist doesn't want to enter and wants to stay outside the room, porthole, tunnel, home, closet, club, or any place without using force. The antagonist is continually inviting them in or coaxing or guilting or anything that will get the protagonist to enter.

A: Hello!! {continues echo} Yikes.

B: Ok... Saddle up.

A: Oh were going to send in the horse?

B: Ha ahahahahahaha / ...but no horse is going to fit in there.

A: So that leaves...

B: You know who.

A: Oh right... you.

B: Not exactly.

A: Then that leaves...

B: You

A: Me?

B: You

A: Right. You.

B: Me? Fat chance.

A: So me? In that tunnel right there? Ha! Hahahaha...

B: (Silence)

A: Right... Not a joke.

B: No... Very serious.

A: It's a serious tunnel alright.

B: And who better than the bravest of the bunch.

A: Send in Alan or Chester. They were just saying they hoping for adventure. What's a greater adventure than... uhmm... the unknown.

B: What's unknown is why you haven't slid down feet first into this tunnel.

A: Why exactly again?

B: You know... the King's Keys... that someone dropped down the drain.

A: That someone being...

B: You?

A: You aren't sure?

B: No I was questioning why you are playing dumb.

A: OH I'm not dumb, forgetful yes. But not dumb.

B: Now you are just stalling!

A: Wouldn't you.

B: If I were you, I would just get it over with.

A: Oh so you would just do it?

B: Yes, absolutely. Just get it done.

A: Great! So here's the rope.

B: Oh don't pawn this off on to me! I've got mind to snitch on you so I don't have to deal with you.

A: Ok, ok. I'm going.

B: And...

A: Can we do like a mid-morning prayer to bless my voyage?

B: You aren't crossing the seven seas. You are slipping down a drain.

A: Seems like your attitude has slipped down the drain. Let's be positive about this.

B: I am!

A: Alright, alright. Here goes nothing.

This was written in one go and one once over for any fine tunning. This shows that thinking about the game and core action conflict of wanting to stay outside and one getting them to go inside without force allows for a variety of actions and playfulness and creates freedom to focus on thought streams and repartee.
