shoulders and arms) ● The object of the game is to see how many students you can tag. Nothing happens when someone is tagged–just continuous safe movement and tagging. ● Students will keep track of how many people they tag and when you freeze the game, ask who got over 10…20…etc. ● Before you reset the game with your “Go Word”, challenge them to beat their previous score. Practice a quick round to see if they know the boundaries, how to tag safely, and if they understand adding up their tags. Play for a minute or two each round until it’s time to debrief and line up.

Debrief

Ask the following: ● How did you follow directions in this game? ● What school/PE rule did you practice today?

Remind students that they should always use butterfy fngers when tagging and be safe while playing all tag games. Use a Sequence Touch to get students back to Home Base to learn the next activity.

Evolution

Show How How to Play:

● Review boundaries where students will be able to move around inside. ● Everyone begins as an egg, where students are bunched up in a ball, hopping around on their feet. ● Students match up with a partner and play Ro-Sham-Bo(RSB), also known as Rock, Paper, Scissors. ● The student who wins will evolve into a “chicken” and the less successful student will stay an egg. Each player will go fnd another student who looks like them (a chicken will play against another chicken, the egg will play another egg). ○ Modifcation: You can just teach eggs and chickens to begin with. Add the next two stages if students are successful with playing RSB and understanding the rules. ● If a student as a chicken wins, they will evolve into a dinosaur, whereas the less successful chicken will go back to being an egg. ● If a student as a dinosaur wins, they will evolve into a superhero, whereas the less successful dinosaur will go back to being a chicken. ● Students will continue playing each other as eggs, chickens, dinosaurs, and superheroes. While other stages have to play against the same stage, superheroes are able to fy around and play against anyone. If they are less successful, they remain a superhero while the other student evolves. ● Play until everyone is fying around a superhero!
