Description:

Layer 1: The class is separated in two groups, facing each other at the center of the playing area. We first practice the movement: when the instructor calls cranes, the cranes turn around and run to the other goal line. When the crows are called, the crows go to their goal line.

Layer 2: When call crows, the crows have to turn around and run to their base before the cranes touch them. When call the cranes, the cranes have to turn around and run to their base before the crows touch them.

 

MODIFICATIONS:

The students can also start not facing each other, or on their lying on their stomach.

 

SAFETY:

Remind the students about appropriate tagging. The students need a deceleration zone so the goal line should not be too close to the wall.
