  • Fresh Start - Each evening we will begin the game a new with a new "IT" selected randomly.


  • Random "It" - The starting "IT" will be selected at random each evening at 5:30 PM and tweeted out from the @ISTEtag twitter account, posted here and to the #ISTEtag18


  • Who's Playing? - "IT" will be given a Bling Lanyard and the first 500 players will be provided a wristband to wear and identify themselves as a player in #ISTEtag18 - The wristband must be visible (other wise why play right?!).


  • Being or Becoming "It" - Becoming "IT" means you got tagged by the previous "IT" and must tweet a selfie to #ISTEtag18 so those playing know who is "IT" (along with wearing the Bling Lanyard) how to identify who "IT" is and must pass the Bling Lanyard on to the new "IT" after a tag has occurred.


  • Safe Zones - There are a few designated "Safe Zones" for #ISTEtag including street crossings (safety, safety, safety), restrooms (gross... don't touch anyone in the restroom), and the Bloggers' Cafe (Only during wristband distribution). If tagging someone puts you or others in danger... don't do it!


  • No Tag Backs - You can not tag some back who has just tagged you. You can be "IT" more than once a day, but not via the instant Tag Back method. there must be at least one other person tagged as "IT" before becoming "IT" again.


  • Quitting the Game - Take off the wristband (but don't be a quitter!)


  • Be Kind - Common sense and kindness are encouraged (example: Think carefully about interrupting someone's Ignite to tag them, etc)


  • Have Fun and Make New Friends! - Play is vital in all our lives (And Consider Signing Your Class, School, or District up for Global School Play Day at www.globalschoolplayday.com )

Who's "IT?" They will be wearing this Bling Lanyard... And Passing It On to the "New IT" ... Be Sure to Post a Selfie with the New "IT" #ISTEtag18
