How to Play Flashlight Tag

Playing tag has always been about outrunning whoever is "It." But now, you can add a fun twist, making the game more about stealth and tact, by using flashlights to transform the game. Here are two different methods for wikiHow to play flashlight tag.

Steps

Playing with One 'It' Person

1. Find a barely lit area to play. Make sure there are a lot of hiding spots and that it is a safe place to run around.
   
   
2. Gather a group of people. One person should have a flashlight.
   
   
3. Choose who is 'it'. This person will have the flashlight and will be responsible for "tagging" people.
   
   
4. The person who is 'It' counts to 30-60 while everyone else hides.
   
   
5. The person who is 'It' should then start to look for people. To tag a person, the person that is 'it' must shine the light on them and call out their name.

7. Start the new game with that person as "It".

5. Continue until only one person is left.
