The same rules apply for playing Cops and robbers for kids just about anywhere. It is always best to use something big and round like a hula hoop to put the bean bags in but anything can be used or modified. If playing outside, a tree, a playground set, or any large item outside can be considered the safe zone where the robbers cannot get caught and bean bags can be dropped off. It can even be jazzed up and turned into a maze game. Here is how to play cops and robbers if it is outside on a playground or even in the woods. This allows each team to play both sides of the game. Once either of these happens then the proper thing to do is have the cops and robbers switch places and play the game again. If all of the robbers are sitting down, then that means they have all been arrested and the cops win the game. If the bean bags are gone and all in the safe zone, the robbers win the game. Sometimes the player calls it quits once all the bean bags have been taken out of the hula hoops which would probably mean the bank goes bankrupt. Sometimes the game goes a little longer than expected if there are faster robbers than cops, then the game can be timed since gym class only last an hour. The game ends once all the robbers have been caught and sitting down. However, if they have a bean bag then they must go back and place it in the hula hoop first, then go back and sit down where they were tagged by the cop. If the cop tags the robber that means he or she is caught them has been considered arrested by them and the robber has to sit down wherever they were tagged and remain in place if there is no bean bag in hand. If the robber can make it to the safe zone with the so-called “loot,” which is the bean bag, then they just simply drop the bean bag down and take off again to grab some more bean bags. One robber at a time at the hula hoop is all that can stay inside. If the robber runs to the hula hoop and has the bean bag in hand, as long as they stand inside to hula hoop they are considered safe and cannot be taken out the game. The robbers have to run and grab as many bean bags, which would be considered the “loot,” and bring it back to the home base safely without getting caught by the cops. The point of the game is for the robbers to run around the gym and not get tagged by the cops who will be chasing them diligently. The other team should be throughout the entire gym and not kept as a group.
