GAME OF THE MONTH

Infected/Zombie Tag

Where: Open Space

Objective: I can build a positive team culture. I can have fun.

101 Skills: Braking, Bike-Body Separations, Cornering, Shifting

201 Skills: Track Stands, Ratcheting

Setup: Best for a group of 10 or more. Use four tall cones for boundaries, or landmarks for boundaries. Field sized for number of riders, your best judgment used. Have all riders come into the middle of the boundary to explain the rules. Ask for a volunteer to be the first infected rider.

Rules: One rider starts off as the infected scourge. They attempt to tag other riders who have not been infected. The goal is to get everyone infected. Once a rider is infected they help in getting other riders tagged. Tags must be completed with hands, no feet. If someone puts a foot down or rides outside of the boundaries at any time they are infected. Infected riders can only make zombie sounds; if an infected rider prompts another rider with a zombie sound the other infected rider must respond with their sound, UN-infected riders do not have to respond.

Reflection question: What did you enjoy about the activity? What didn’t you enjoy?
