What is American Touch Tag Day? Well, American Touch Tag Day commemorates the game we spent recess, after school and in the neighborhood playing in our free time.
Touch tag dates back to ancient Rome, and has been played worldwide! It is played with a player running around chasing other players trying to “tag” them so they are no longer “it”. The nice thing about the game is that there is no equipment or score.
American Touch Tag Day falls on October 8th each year. Since we love getting outside and playing, it’s one of our favorite October Holidays, and we can’t think of a better day to play outside!
