How Do You Play Yoshi?

Yoshi is a great game where you can have multiple players on each team as long as they're even on each side. It was originally a computer game that was turned into a P.E game.

What you need and the set-up

To play Yoshi you need to have two teams, two hoops/mats/chairs and place them diagonally in each corner of the space you play in e.g a field/court. Then you put a line of cones in the middle of the space you want to play.

How to play

First you need to know the rules. The way it is played you need to have one team on each side of the cones. Then have one person who is not playing e.g the teacher say ‘go’. Once they say go the people playing try to get the other side without getting tagged, if they get tagged they have to stay where they are until someone from their team comes and gets them without getting tagged on their way there. If they manage to get to their teammate and grab them without getting tagged they are free to go back to their side. 

How to win

When someone calls ‘Yoshi’ the whole team is free to go to the hoop/mat/chair on the other teams side and they are not allowed to get tagged, if they were tagged before ‘Yoshi’ was called they have to have someone come and get them and run back and then go to the hoop/mat/chair. The first team to get everyone to the hoop/mat/chair is the winner.
