TAG! You’re It!

Tuesday, June 29th, 2010

Tag is a game that brings back memories of running willy-nilly around the playground, chasing after your friends.

If I’m remembering correctly, there wasn’t much reasoning to the whole thing, no points scored, no winning…. just trying your hardest to tag your friends …and maybe that cute boy in the 4th grade.

Now let’s jump ahead to today.

Adults aren’t really known for playing tag… come to think of it haven’t seen many kids playing it either.

But what if we had a TAG revival ….brought it into the 21st century, jazzed it up a bit…and threw in a healthy dose of social conscience?

Welcome to Service Tag!

As the first of the Get HandsOn challenges, Service Tag will be the world’s largest game of virtual tag,and in this game the way to win is by doing good.

Once “You’re It,” you’ll get into the game by tagging anyone you know who is doing good things in your community – anything from setting up a volunteer tutoring service for the young students in your neighborhood, to volunteering at your local HandsOn Action Center… whatever you can do to take action that makes positive change.

Playing TAG also means being part of the Get HandsOn Community.

Through the GetHandsON.com portal you can meet up with other Service Leaders, get great ideas for service projects, and bookmark that TAG Leaderboard page to see where you rank on the list of Tag Masters!

The community interacts with Facebook and Twitter, so all your friends and followers will see the good work you’re doing.

Try it right now – go ahead – get out that smart phone and text yours, or a friend’s email, to … or head over to www.GetHandsOn.com to start tagging!

Look, it’s time you used that phone for something other than watching the latest Lady Ga-Ga video (don’t even try to tell me you don’t have “Alejandro” on your phone – you know you do).

Use it to bring the game of TAG back to life – and make the game MEAN something.

What are you waiting for? Tag, YOU’RE IT… now show us what you can do.
