Toilet Tag

Bizarre name, good game.  Imagine the classic playground stuck-in-the-mud without the crawling.

This game has become a firm favourite in the  welikeplay garden for the last 6 months, since the boys were taught it by one of their growed-up friends.  She, in turn, had been off on a disability equality course where she had been introduced to the game, as one with greater accessibility.  It also growed-up players to join in.

The classic stuck-in-the-mud is a game of tag, where the one who is it has the sticky touch.  When tagged you must stand still with legs apart until another player crawls between your legs to free you.  A great game, except if you have mobility difficulties, or are a barrel-chested 32 year old; then it kind of precludes you.

Toilet tag is a new spin on this game.  When you are tagged you have to stand in an ‘I’m a little teapot’ / 70s  camp stereotype pose.  You’re then freed by others coming up to you and flushing your hand handle and whooping FLUSH out really loud.  Lots of giggles.  Lots of players.

Enjoy.
