A.Freeze Tag, is another variant of the Tag game. Where the person who is "it" tags everyone but instead of being out of the game once tagged, the person will be frozen in place until another player "unfreezes" the player, such as by tapping the frozen player on the shoulder. Freeze tag, starts by first gathering a group of players, deciding who “it” is, determining that this might mean volunteering or playing a game like rock, paper, scissors. After determining the person who is "it", he will count to a number allowing the other players to disperse, giving them enough time to get away from the person who is "it". When the person finishes counting, they will chase the others to tag them, once tagged; the person is frozen in place. The only way to unlock them is when another player touches them. The aim of the game is that the "it" person freezes everyone in the game and the last person to be tagged will be the next to become "it" in the next game. The Freeze Tag age range where children begin to play and understand the rules of freeze tag is 5 to 8 years old. B: Cognitive During the transition from early childhood to middle childhood, not only is there evidence of physical change but also mental in children. In 1996 Janowsky & Carper, and Sowell et al., (2007), noted the increase in myelination in the frontal cortex, allowing further development of mental development, for example the increase in attention focusing, capable of solving problems complex, planning and also the ability to reflect on one's actions (Lightfoot, page 393). In the Freeze Tag game, when a child is "frozen" after being touched by the person who is "it", another child may lead the person who is "it" towards him allowing him to... middle of paper.. . ...that's practicing and just having fun having fun. It is also a stress reliever from the pressures and expectations of the outside world, focusing only on the short and fast period of time. Older children would probably show the same excitement as when they first started playing the Freeze Tag game. Have more self-control when frozen and greater hands-on attention to mental operations and strategy. Freeze Tag at any age would bring back a feeling of nostalgia to people playing the game, a feeling of being free from stress and focusing only on the goal of the game. This simply involves playing games with a group of people until they get tired of playing. Freeze Tag starts from when you can understand and follow the rules until you determine you have no energy left to keep up, it's practically an ageless game that will continue for many generations of children.
