Type/Purpose: Chase/Tag, Seasonal—Fall

Materials:

Squishy orange-ish ball or orange face paint
Cones or other objects

Set-Up: Mark off a boundary large enough for the group to have a little bit of room to move around in.

Play:

One person, The Sweet Potato (hereafter TSP), will have a dab of orange paint on them, or will be holding the orange squishy.
When TSP tags another player, they become the crust, and must immediately lay down. They can even have crust-like sound effects (“I’m crusty” or “Here I Yam”)
Other players may uncrust the crusted players by adding a little bit of whipped cream.
- Two players stand over the crust, make aerosol whipped cream sounds (shhhhhhhh), and jump over the player, switching sides. The crust may then rise and continue running around.
Switch around who’s “The Sweet Potato,” and continue until the game is at its height.
