What’s On The Printable

The sheet is built to be used on a field, not just read. Page one is the whole game on a single sheet. Page two gives you a layout to copy and quick ways to mix it up.

  • Page one, the quick rules. Player counts, gear, the goal, and the tag rule up top. Then setup in five steps, how to play, dispute fixes, and a short safety list.
  • Page two, setup and variations. A field diagram showing flags, jails, safety radius, and the center line. Then six variations and a team-size cheat sheet.

Print it in black and white or color. Both read fine, since the sheet uses clear headings and simple icons rather than heavy backgrounds.

The Capture The Flag Rules In Short

Here’s the game in brief, so you know what the printable covers. For the full breakdown, read our complete capture the flag rules.

Split into two even teams, each with a flag in its own territory. Cross into enemy ground, grab their flag, and carry it back across the center line to win. Get tagged on the enemy side and you go to jail, until a teammate frees you. Keep tags to a two-hand touch, and set the boundaries out loud before you start.

Anyone handed a group and told to keep them busy can print this and start playing in minutes.
