STUDENT TARGET
- Skill: I will safely dodge taggers by keeping my eyes up and alert.
- Cognitive: I will define warm- up and cool-down.
- Fitness: I will remain actively engaged in class with no teacher reminders.
- Personal & Social Responsibility: I will discuss and demonstrate behaviors that contribute to a positive physical activity environment.
TEACHING CUES
- Move at a Safe Pace
- Watch Where You’re Going
- Taggers: Tag with Fingers, Shoulders Only
Equipment:
- 4 hoops
- 3 foam dice or other small manipulative to identify taggers.
Set-Up:
- Place hoops in the corners of a large activity area as boundary markers.
- Scatter students in the activity area.
- Give foam dice to 2 or 3 students to identify them as taggers.
Activity Procedures:
- Today we’re going to work on improving our health-related fitness by playing Plank Tag.
- When I say “GO!” begin playing at a speed-walking pace. The taggers will do 5 jumping jacks to give you time to move away from them. If you’re tagged, move into forward or side plank position.
- To be freed, a classmate must come to you and name a fruit or vegetable. (Don’t repeat the same food twice.)
- Freeze when you hear the stop signal and we’ll change taggers.
