To sign "tag," form an 'A' handshape with your dominant hand, keeping your palm facing forward and slightly downward. Push your hand forward in a quick, single tapping motion in the space in front of you. Imagine you are physically reaching out to tap someone on the shoulder in a game of tag.
Sign "play," then use the quick forward 'A' handshape for "tag," followed by the sign for "outside." Your facial expression should be excited and inviting.
Perform the sign for "tag" with a bit more emphasis and directionality toward the person you are referring to, then point directly at them to indicate they are "it."
Sign "children," "love," and "play," then finish with the forward tapping motion for "tag." You can add the sign for "park" at the end to complete the context.

No, this specific sign is used exclusively for the game of tag or the physical action of playfully tagging a person. For a price tag or name tag, you would use a completely different sign or simply fingerspell the word T-A-G.
No, you do not need to physically touch anyone. The sign is performed in the empty space directly in front of you. The quick forward motion alone is enough to clearly represent the action of tagging.
This sign is performed using only your dominant hand. Your non-dominant hand should remain resting comfortably at your side while you make the quick forward tapping motion with your dominant 'A' handshape.
