Cycle: III                                                     Activity Level: Hi

Tactics: Move quickly, quick passes              Equipment: 3 or 4 pinnies, 1 mousse ball


QEP: COMPETENCY II, communication with a partner, feinting, escaping.

 

Description:

Layer 1: Three players that have a pinny are the tags. They have a mousse ball that they can pass to each other and try to touch other students with it. The tags can’t move, they only have a pivot step. Once you are touched, you go get a pinny and become a tag also. The game ends after three minutes or when three people are left.

 


MODIFICATIONS:

If it is too difficult for the tags to touch other students, they can be allowed to take 1, 2, or 3 steps.

 

SAFETY:

Start by having the class move around the gymnasium using space carefully, keeping their head up and scanning. Remind the students about proper tagging. The students can’t throw the ball to touch the other players.
