Introduction

Begin class with a warm up procedure: ● Prepare students with daily expectations before entering the gym OR on Home Base. ● Warm up procedure may include several laps around the gym, stretching routine, or another quick, movement based activity. ● Back at Home Base, review rules/expectations of the school and PE/Playworks with explicit examples when appropriate. How will we be safe/kind/responsible in PE today? ● Review any other specifc reminders needed for the day. Before releasing students for the frst game, use a Sequence Touch to get them to the location you need them to be for the frst activity. ● In this game, students are going to avoid being tagged by the tagger (Pacman) by running along the painted lines on the gym foor. ● One or two students will be chosen to be the taggers and are trying to tag every student to win while also staying on the lines. ● If a student gets tagged, they must sit down, creating a barrier. If students who are still up come across a barrier, they must turn around. ● Taggers are allowed to go around barriers. ● The game continues until the fnal student(s) are left. They will begin the new round as the next taggers. PacmanTag
