How it’s done
- Tell everyone to get with a partner, face each other and get into boxing positions as if sparring.
- Tell each girl that she must try and touch/tag her partner on the shoulder, either with her fingertips or the glove.
- While trying to tag her partner’s shoulder, girls must also avoid being tagged by their partner through the various avoiding/defending techniques.
- Tell partners to count how many times they make a tag. The girls with the most tags made win.
