PE Game For Grades: 1st-5th
Materials:
- Cones to mark the playing area
Instructions:
-
Mark off a designated area with cones. If you play the whole gym it will be way too big!! I like making a square with cones and you can adjust it as needed
-
Select 3-4 students to be taggers and they will start as the crabs and must crab walk
-
All of the other students will be on their feet and will try to stay away from the crabs as long as they can
-
If a students gets tagged by a crab, they become a crab as well and will get down on the ground and can now tag students as well. Crabs/taggers will grow in numbers as the game goes on
-
Play unil there are only a handful of students left in the game
Helpful Hint
- If students can’t decide if they got tagged or not, then just have them play RPS
Safety Concerns:
-
Stress the importance of not grabbing onto legs but just tagging with foot or hand to avoid tripping and students falling
