Hey you could use pool noodles to limit the contact and to make it safer. I learned my lesson because my kids were so competitive that tagging turned into pushing and hitting lol. So pool noodles came into play.

Haha, yeah, that many gloves wouldn’t be very practical! Honestly I don’t think it’s the best game if you’re trying to practice social distancing. You could try flour bomb capture the flag; that one doesn’t involve touching! It does take more prep work though, and it’s a lot messier!

Emma, I think the game typically finishes when one of the teams carries the opposing team’s flag back over the boundary to their side. You could also do a set time and, at the end of the set time, count up how many players each team has not in jail and award a winner that way. But I think the capturing-the-flag part of the game is the best part and the more fun way to play. Hope this helps!
