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.

Watch Your Back Tag

Show How How to Play:

● Remind students that this tag game will be played inside the large rectangle square. ● In this game, everyone is “it” and will be trying to tag each other while also trying not to get tagged. ● If tagged, the student must take a knee and keep track of their tagger. They can only stand back up if their own tagger gets tagged
