KOREAN TAG

The rules to this game are quite simple. Just like regular tag, choose a person to be “it.” Then this person has to chase and tag someone. Once they do this, everyone stops. The person tagged must then say a word in Korean; they must also say what it means in English. If the person isn’t sure of the English word, anyone can offer to answer; but beware. Anytime the English word is given wrong, that person is either pulled out of the game or penalized by having to do push-ups. Once this is done, the person who was originally tagged is then allowed to chase and tag someone else to be it. One of the rules of the game is that you cannot tag the person who just tagged you. This way everyone gets involved. Another rule is that they cannot repeat a word anyone else says, so it is to everyone’s benefit to be very quiet when the person who is “it” says their word in Korean. Any repeats are subjected to the same penalties as wrong words.


The benefits of this game are:
1. good source of exercise
2. a fun way to learn the Korean language
3. helps sharpen listening skills
