○ Arms ● No matter the locomotor skill (running, galloping, leaping, etc.), review how students can move safely.

Debrief

Return to Home Base and ask the following: ● How did we follow the rules and be safe during this game? ● Where could we play this game during recess?

Prepare students for the next activity.

One Fish, Two Fish

Show How How to Play:

● Students will start at one end line and you will stand either at half court or the other end line with a hula hoop by your feet and the small object inside the hula hoop. ● Students will attempt to move towards you while you are turned around (or your eyes are covered) and say “One fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish!”. Once you complete that sentence, open your eyes and see who you can catch moving. ● If you see a student move from their frozen position, send that student back to their endline to begin again. Repeat the saying again, allowing students to move closer and closer to you each round. ● Once students are close enough, they will take your object and try to return it back to their own endline while still needing to freeze when you finish your saying. ● When you open your eyes and notice the object is gone, you will guess who has it. Students will remain frozen while you say a name, they will either show you they have it or reveal empty hands, and you will go back to your saying. ● If you guess correctly, the students must return the object to your hula hoop and restart back on the endline. If you are incorrect, continue with rounds of the saying/freezing them and guessing. ● If they are able to get it back across their endline without you catching them, they win!

Practice andPlay

Review what it means to freeze and the consequences of being caught.

Practice a round where you send students back to the endline.

You can add a rule that students must pass the object a certain amount of times before they cross the end line.
