Elementary PE Brainbooster

● Begin the round with your arm up in the air and make sure each of the four players are paying attention to you. ● Play begins when you drop your arm to your side and yell “Switch!”. Each player (including yourself) will find a new corner to stand in. ● Because there are only four spots and five players, the student who doesn’t get to a corner on time will go to the line and the next student waiting will join in the middle. ● If two students get to a corner at the same time, they will use RSB to figure out who gets to stay.

Practice andPlay

Assign students to the different courts and have them practice a few rounds.

Modify movement by allowing students in the middle to call out different movements, like “hop”, “skip” or “walk”. They can also choose animals before yelling “Switch!”, so all students move like that animal.
