Octopus Game

Game Overview: Octopus is a fun and interactive game ideal for youth. All players stand in a line while one individual starts as the Octopus in the middle.

Instructions:

  1. The Octopus begins the game by calling out a specific trait (e.g., wearing black shoes).
  2. Players who possess the called trait must then attempt to reach the opposite side without being tagged by the Octopus.
  3. Any players who are tagged transform into 'seaweed' and must remain in the location they were tagged.
  4. These 'seaweed' players then assist the Octopus by also attempting to tag other players.
  5. The game continues in this manner until only one player remains.
