Toe Touch Tag
Toe Touch Tag is a relationship mapping exercise that helps participants build useful connections and understand how people, roles, or ideas relate.
How to run it
- Divide the playing field in half and designate two small “zones” on both sides.
- Each team tries to slide their bean bags to the other team’s side, attempting to hit an opponent’s foot.
- If you are hit in the foot with a bean bag, you go to the zone on your opponent’s side
- Teammates can free each other by sliding a bean bag into the zone where their teammates stand
