This is the place!
This game is hugely popular, specially among the younger kids, in South Africa. It's good as a cool active activity, and it's a lot of fun. However, we in South Africa call it "(Capture the) Flag", and it's got a twist: you have to get to the other team's base, but each team has a 'flag' (portable item) in their base, and to win, I have to capture the other team's flag from their base, and bring it back into my half of the field, without being tagged by anyone from the other team. If I'm tagged before I can bring it to my side, I have to freeze in place, and the flag is returned to their base.

TYPE: Active
Play outdoors or in a large room
Two bases are needed
The group is divided into two teams. Each team goes to opposite ends of the playing area. At each end a "base" (a chair or any other object) is placed and a center-line is decided upon to divide the playing area in half. The object of the game is for team A to get to team B's base or vice versa. However, once a member from either team crosses into the other team's area, he can be tagged, which "freezes" him in his place until he is "unfrozen" (tagged) by a member of his own team. The winning team is the first team to have one of its members reach the other team's base.
