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. ● 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.

Drop the Cookie

Show How How to Play:

● Inside the boundaries, spread students out and hand out the cones or “cookies”, one per student. ● The students who don’t have cones will chase after those who do, tag them safely, and yell “Drop the cookie!”. The tagged student will drop the cone and go chase someone new with a cone. ● The tagger will pick up the cone and now be chased by others, avoiding being tagged for as long as possible.
