Cycle: I, II                                                           Activity Level: Moderate

QEP: COMPETENCY II, chasing and escaping, using the space available.

 

Description:

Layer 1: Set up the cones spread out into the playing space. The cones will be the trees. Select 5 students to be the hunters. They will have touch sicks. The other children will be the sheep.

The hunters must hide behind a tree. On the “GO”, the sheep will adventure into the forest. When the teacher yells “RUN SHEEP RUN!”, the hunters come out, and try to touch the sheep that will escape to the safe zone. 

 

MODIFICATIONS:

The hunters can wear pinnies if the colors are too confusing.

The sheep that get touched can become hunters.

 

SAFETY:

Remind the students about appropriate tagging with the touch sticks. The hunters should tag the students on the legs. The students should keep their head up at all times, in order to prevent bumping into another student.

Have a deceleration zone (base or safe zone) to prevent injuries.
