Tabletop Freeze Tag

2–2 players · 15 min · 5+

A fun way to pass a little time, for two players and some spare change.

Object: The nickel is 'it' and attempts to freeze the pennies by bumping into them. The pennies try to stay away from the nickel and unfreeze any frozen pennies by bumping into them.

You Need:

  • 3 pennies.
    • 1 nickel.

Place the nickel and pennies on a table with the nickel in the center and the three pennies surrounding it. Place all pennies face-up. Decide who will play the nickel and who will play the pennies. (You could flip for it.) By flicking the change around the table, the nickel player tries to freeze the pennies, while the penny player tries to keep his pennies in play.

The game ends when all the pennies are frozen and can no longer move. Switch roles and play again.
