WARM-UP
TEACHING ASSIGNMENT
Activity and
instruction Part 1 Tag Progression
Activity 1 Tag vs
partner
- Students will get with a
partner (if there is an extra person a group of 3 will also
work)
- The object of the game is
to tag your partner in the boundaries
designated
- The game starts out at a
fast paced walk and will eventually progress to jogging and/or
running
Activity 2 Tag
Partners vs partners
- Students will stay with
their original partners and link arms
- Students will find another
partner grouping to play against within the designated area
- The object of the game is
for one partner group (with linked arms) to chase down and tag the partner
group that they are challenging
- The game starts out at a
fast paced walk and will eventually progress to jogging and/or
running
Activity 3 Tag
Monster tag or sticky popcorn
- One or two people start of
being “it”
- They are to tag others,
and when others are tagged they must link arms in a chain with those who are
“it”
- The game is played in the
designated boundaries and if players run out of the boundaries they are also
“it”
- Players can not run under
the arms of the line of people that are it
- The object of the game is
to be the last person tagged
Modifications… if it seems
as though the line becomes too big, when a certain number are linked ex: at 6
the line can split again into two groups of 3 and there can be multiple lines
being “it” at the same time
Organization and
utilization of space
- A giant square will be
used as the boundary for the following tag games
- There is the possibility
to play with two squares to increase activeness of the class

Cues and
safety…
·
Keep your head up watching
out for others
·
Pivot and move quickly on

Objectives and Learning
Domains
- For players to be very
active and working hard
- An awareness of
space
- An element of
competition
- Coordination of moment
with a partner or a small group
- Transfer of skills could
be to a dance unit (coordination of movement), wrestling or to a net/wall game
such as badminton (special awareness)
All
of the above activities give the learner opportunities for advancing cognitive,
physical and social skills
Teaching
style
Command with some
opportunities for perhaps discovery
Activity and instruction Part 2 Tag Progression
Activity 1 Balance
dual
- Get a partner and find
space in the gym or boundaries
- You must stand about a
half a foot away from the other
- You can not touch any part
of the body except his/her hands
- Like “paddy cake” you must
hold your hands up, and the object is to knock your partner off
balance
- You may fake or move your
hands from side to side to elude your partner
- First one to 3 wins…
partners may play again
Activity 2 Tag
Quick feet
- Similar to activity 1
partners must be about a half a foot away from each other but must now links/
hold hands
- The object of this game is
to lightly tap the others foot with your foot
- Partners can move feet to
try to fake out or elude their opponent
- First one to 3 wins…

Activity 3 Tag Star Wars or Total Annihilation
- Boundaries set up in a
large square
- All players wearing
pinnies
- A number of players will
be the “storm troopers”
- Object of the game is to
collect a number of cones “dilithium crystals”
- The “storm troopers” or
those who are it will be to pull the pinnies from all other players in the
game
- If tagged you must go the
bleachers or “the death star prison cell” and play one of the two previous
activities with a partner… the winner can re-enter the game
- The games ends when all
cones are collected, or all the players are eliminated
- The cones will be returned
to a safe zone “the rebel base” in the middle of the playing
area
Organization and
utilization of space
- For first 2 activities,
space around the gym
- For the 3rd
activity a boundary designated by cones
- A safe zone will be in the
middle of the playing area
