Cockroaches and Exterminators

Assemble a grid and assign two or three participants to be 'Exterminators', with the remaining participants known as ‘Cockroaches’. On the Coach's signal, participants move through the grid with the 'Cockroaches' attempting to avoid being tagged by the 'Exterminators'. Once tagged, participants drop to the ground and lie on their back kicking their legs in the air like a dying ‘Cockroach’ until another participant rolls them back onto their feet.
