When I turn on the music, I want you to jog around the play area.
When I stop the music, I want you to “fill up” the pool with the bean bags and balls by using your underhand throw.

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.

Learning Outcome
Learners should be able to keep moving in some manner and then hold a position for 5 to 10 seconds.
Activity Description
Begin by asking students if they know what the word freeze means. Have students start jogging in place and explain when you say freeze that they have to stop and not move one bit, they are frozen. Explain that this will be part of the game for the day.
Explain to children once the music starts they should start moving or dancing around.
They should continue to dance and move until the music is stopped.
If the music stops they must freeze in whatever position they happen to be in at the time and hold it until the music is started again.
If they move they are out and must sit until the next round.
Closing
If desired have winners control the music for the next round. Ask students how long they think one position can be held. Allow them to try different positions such as standing on one leg.

Learning Outcome
Players try balancing different objects to see which shapes are easiest to balance. The balancing act is an introduction to balancing objects, which encourages spatial awareness. It combines well with plate-spinning activities.
Activity Description
Players balance various objects to see which shapes are easiest to balance.
Players use different body parts to balance the objects, such as the palm or back of their hand, or their knee, foot, elbow, or chin.
Players try walking or lying down and
getting back up again while trying to balance their object.
Players ‘jump’ the balancing object from one body part to another (e.g. one hand to another).
Players work in pairs to pass balanced objects to each other using the ’jump’ method.
Allow students to explore balance position and equipment used.
Required Material
4 Boundary cone, Various balancing objects, such as balancing poles (made from rolled-up newspaper
and sticky tape), feathers (easier), shoes, plastic chairs, baseball caps, and broom handles (harder)
