Rugby Octopus

Assemble a grid and select up to three participants to be ‘Octopus’. The remaining participants line up along one line of the grid, and on the Coach's signal, must attempt to move through the grid without being tagged. If tagged, a participant becomes 'Seaweed' and must remain stationary, waving their arms and attempting to tag other participants as they run through the grid. The game continues until all participants have been tagged.
