Designate one child or the coach to be the âmosquitoâ (The mosquitoâs goal is to tag the other players). If you get tagged by the mosquito you have to lay on the ground like a dead bug (lay with your arms and legs up in the air). Your teammates have the opportunity to save the dead bugs by tapping all of the limbs that are up in the air. However, the same savior canât tap all of the limbs this means that four separate kids will each have to tap a limb. Once all four limbs are tapped then the kid is saved and able to re-enter the game. The mosquito continues to run around tagging as many kids as possible and stopping the âdead bugsâ from getting saved. You can have as many kids as possible be mosquito taggers to make it fairer for them. The game ends when there are no more kids to tag.
