Umbrella Tag

Thanks very much to Roni Carson, who shared this game with the Guiding Mailing List!

You will need several umbrellas and a good-sized playing area for this game. The leaders hold the umbrellas. The place under the umbrella is "home" or "safe", and girls standing under an umbrella can't be tagged. Select one girl to be "it" and the game begins! Whenever a girl ducks under an umbrella, the leader holding the umbrella counts down "5, 4, 3, 2, 1" - then the girl must leave the umbrella and run out again. The fun part of the game is that the leaders can run around too - so the "safe" places don't stay still!

This game is best played outside in a gentle rain.
