How to Play TV Tag
Playing tag is a great way to have fun and get some exercise. A great benefit of the game is only a few people are necessary for play and the only materials needed are people and a bit of space. TV tag is a variation on the game of tag where players use knowledge of TV shows to give them an edge and remain safe from the person tagging them.

1
Gather a group of players and decide who is going to be the person who chases everyone else. This person is called "It."

2
Run and try to stay away from the person who is "It." If they get close, yell out the name of a TV show and touch the ground. The player is now safe for 10 seconds and the "It" player needs to leave that player to tag others--no waiting around to tag the person when the 10 seconds are up.

Avoid repeating a show you or any other player already mentioned. If a player can't think of a show or repeats the name of a show, the player becomes the new "It."
