The children who are chosen to be &#8220;it&#8221; for tag games wear them. There are a few reasons these are awesome to use in gym classes, day camps or anytime you&#8217;d play tag with children:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The person who is &#8220;it&#8221; is easily identified with this bright glove;<\/li>\n<li>No more children asking, &#8220;who&#8217;s it?!&#8221;;<\/li>\n<li>Wearing them reminds the children to be gentle when they tag someone;<\/li>\n<li>You can use with any age level. At first I got them for my kindergarten classes, but quickly realized the classes all the way up to grade 6 loved them too;<\/li>\n<li>The student&#8217;s absolutely love using them!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The student&#8217;s faces light up when they see these bright mitts coming out of my gym office! I picked these up at my local dollar store a few years ago. I haven&#8217;t seen the exact same ones recently but there are different models of virtually the same idea at Dollarama right now.
