Night Tag

At night in the country it becomes quite dark, unless the moon is out in a clear sky. The clearest thing you can see on a warm cloudy night is a lighting bug. Due to the lack of vision you start to rely on other senses: Smell, Touch & Hearing.

Relying on low vision, touch, smell and sound the game of night tag becomes a fun way to learn to appreciate everything we take for granite during the daylight. The way night tag works is there are set limits in which the players can roam in a defined outdoor space. There can be one person or a team divided from the group to catch all the other people hiding in the dark. The first person caught is the next catcher or gets to select the team of catchers that will work with them. This game can go on for hours.

Learning not to be afraid of the dark through a simple game allowed me to develop fun night adventures that expanded my days and my imagination.
