To vary the difficulty of the game, you can add variations.

Application
When you were able to touch (tag) another person, you were aware of their presence. You might have found them by the the things they did, or the sounds they made. Sometimes we may not be able to see God, but we know he is there my the things he does and the sound of his voice. Often times, it is not Jesus himself who does things and speaks to us, but others who are doing it on His behalf. We feel the touch of God through the touch of others.
