Amoeba Tag is an active, chasing game played with a group of players - the more the better. This version of tag is usually played within certain physical game boundaries.
In this version of Tag you start with two players that are IT. These two players hold hands as they run around trying to catch the other tag game players. As players are caught they join the chain by holding hands with an end person.
As the chain grows you are allowed to split off into multiple chains, however you can only split in even number groups. You can also link the chain back together as you please. The game ends when all players are caught in the chain.
