Capture the Moon

In this twist on flashlight tag, players imagine that their backyard is the night sky and a soccer ball is the full moon. The mission: be the first person to get to the moon. Save this game for after the sun goes down -- the darker, the better.


You will need:
4 or more players
Soccer ball
Flashlight


  • In an open area, one player, the Astronaut, stands with a flashlight near the soccer ball moon.
  • He yells, "Blast off!" then closes his eyes and starts to count while the others run and hide.
  • When he reaches 29 -- the number of days in a lunar cycle -- the Astronaut calls out, "Full moon."
  • Players then try to grab the ball without being caught in the flashlight's beam.
  • To make things more interesting, have the Astronaut turn off the light between tags to sneak up on players.
  • When a player is caught in the light, he's out. The first person to pick up the ball or the last player left to be tagged is the new Astronaut.
