Capture the kryptonite

Goal:

Teams race to steal the other team’s “kryptonite” and return it to their home base without getting tagged!

Players:

• 2 teams (any number of players per team)

• 1–3 pieces of “kryptonite” per team (e.g., green balls, bean bags, or painted rocks)

How to Play:

1. Split into Teams Divide the play space in half — each team gets one side and hides their kryptonite near the back of their zone.

2. Set Up Jail Zones Mark a small area on each team’s side as a “jail” for captured players.

3. Start the Game! Players try to run into the other team’s territory, grab their kryptonite, and bring it back without being tagged.

4. Tagging Rules:

   • You can only tag players on your own side.

   • If a player is tagged while on the other team’s side, they go to jail.

   • Teammates can rescue jailed players by tagging them — both must walk back safely before rejoining the game.

5. Winning the Game: The first team to capture all of the opposing team’s kryptonite wins!

Variations:

• Power-Up Zones: Add safe zones where players can’t be tagged (use cones or hula hoops).

• Timed Rounds: Play best of 3 rounds with reset after each win.
