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 specific reminders needed for the day. Before releasing students for the first game, use a Sequence Touch to get them to the location you need them to be for the first activity.

Helping Hands Tag

Show How How to Play:

● Review the boundaries of the game and point out the “recharging station”, designated with cones. ● Choose several taggers, who will tag as many students as possible to freeze them. ● Once tagged, a student must freeze by standing still and putting their arms out to the side of them.
