History

Touch tag is a game that is part of the memories of many people, it is not surprising that a wonderful autumn day is dedicated to it. Little is known about its existence: it is believed that it happened in Roman times and became a traditional game for children. The organization does not require any equipment, scoring and other things. Meaning: a person is chosen in turn, who must catch up with the participants and touch them in order to take them out of the game.

In some educational institutions, hobby is prohibited. The game is quite active, so children can get injured – before the ban, many students ran into trouble. However, this does not mean that it is dangerous – just follow the safety rules. Its rules in each of the regions may vary, but basically they are universal for everyone.
