How to play
Capture the Flag is a very simple wide game, similar to tip. Divide the group into two teams, and give each team a flag (or other object). Each team must try to capture the opposing team's flag. Once someone captures the other team's flag they must run back to their base without getting tipped by someone on that team. If someone gets tipped with the flag then the other team can reclaim their flag and take it back to its original position.
With this game, the placement of the teams is vital and it's important to give each team time to think and talk about strategies and tactics.
