Learning Outcome

To practice throwing and catching by developing a variety of tricks with the scarves. For students to create their own “ghostbuster trick” and teach it to another student.

Activity Description

“Ghost, Ghost fly up high… BOOOOO catch” (Throw scarf into the air and catch).
“Ghost, Ghost fly to my other hand catch” (Throw with one hand, catch with the other).
“Ghost, Ghost fly, twirl catch” (Throw scarf into air, turn around and catch).
“Ghost, Ghost, fly, touch my head catch.”

After providing the above examples ask children to create their own “ghost trick.” Ghostly music playing in the background adds to the activity. As students develop their own tricks, ask them to share the variety of “ghost tricks.”

Variations:- If children are having trouble throwing the scarf into the air, ask that they hold one corner of the scarf and hold the scarf down low by their knees, raise their hand quickly overhead and release the scarf.
