Introductory Activity: "Freeze Tag"

      Time: 5 Minutes

      One or two students be "It" and they will try to tag the other students. Once you are tagged you must freeze, and if another students crawls between your legs you can be unfrozen and re-enter the game.

Transition: Call Group together and have them sit while we introduce ourselves and what we are doing today

Time: 3 minutes

Transition: Break up into 2 groups by what color they are wearing and each group go with an instructor.

Time: 2 Minutes

Second Activity: MOTION NAME GAME:

Time: 10 Minutes (5 minutes with each instructor)

Have everyone stand in a circle.  Anyone can begin the game by saying his/her name and demonstrating a [physical] motion to go with it.  When the person is done, the entire group repeats the name and the motion.  Then, the second person (on either side of the first) introduces him/herself and does a motion.  The entire group repeats that name/motion and then the first name/motion.  This will continue until each person has given their name and done their motion, and the entire group has repeated everyone’s name and motions. 

Teaching Cues:   Listen

                         Repeat the correct motion

Have everyone say their favorite color and favorite food and their name. Then after quiz them on what another student said and if they get it wrong have them do a physical activity (jumping jacks, push ups, crunches, star jumps, etc.)

Teaching Cues:    Listen

Closing Activity: Tag Game (Car Lot)

Have them line up on the baseline and explain the game. Pick a few students to be taggers and have them pick different vehicles (school bus, dump truck, motorcycle, etc.) Have the students on the baseline pick which vehicle they want to be and say it out loud to the person next to them. We call out a car and the students who are that car have to run to the other baseline trying not to get tagged. If they are tagged they become a pothole and sit on the ground where they were tagged. Game continues until there are only a few students left, and they become the new taggers.

Teaching Cues:    Listen

                          Watch where you are going

                          Tag softly

Time: 10 minutes
