HEALTH-RELATED PHYSICAL ACTIVITY: French Fry Tag (10 minutes)
- Object of game: the French Fries try to tag and freeze the entire class inside boundaries of the full basketball court, or half-court for a small class.
- Quickly discuss the negatives of fatty foods. Then 2-4 students are given a noodle; these students are the French Fries.

- Switch taggers after 1-2 minutes.
ACTIVITY #1: Chest Pass

TRANSITION
Pairs should form groups of 6, 2 basketballs per group.
ACTIVITY #2: Keep Away
- Within their groups of 6, students should form 2 groups of 3.
- Assign two groups of 3 to each quarter of the basketball court.
- Demonstrate the game with 2 students or with a student and the assistant.
- Designate one student to be in the middle (interceptor).
- On your signal, the 2 outside students pass the basketball to each other without the interceptor intercepting it or knocking it down.

LESSON OUTCOMES:
- Demonstrate basic dribble.
- Protect the basketball with a non-dribbling arm.
- Develop cardiovascular endurance, agility, and eye-hand coordination.
EQUIPMENT
- 1 basketball per student
- Containers (barrels) or cart to hold basketballs
BEFORE CLASS SET UP:
Place basketball containers in different corners of the play space.
HEALTH-RELATED PHYSICAL ACTIVITY: Dribble Tag (10 minutes)
- Playspace is a basketball court (add a second court if too crowded).
- Designate 4 students as “taggers;” they wear bibs.
- Each student (including taggers) has a basketball and is dribbling.

- If dribbler is tagged, the student must dribble around outside of the court one time.
- If dribbler loses control of the basketball, the student must dribble around outside of court one time.
- Continue for 2 minutes then change taggers.
Add taggers if the students are not active enough.
ACTIVITY #1: Direction Challenge
- Students are to follow your directional movements while dribbling basketballs.
- Move forward, backward, left, right, zigzag, etc.
- No verbal directional commands are given. They should watch your movements.
- As skills improve, make movements faster and more difficult.
ACTIVITY #2: Knock-Out
- Either half-court, full-court, or multiple courts are utilized according to class size.
- Each student has a basketball.
- On your signal, students dribble with the dominant hand, moving within the court and trying to knock the basketballs away from other students.
- Students protect their basketballs with movement and with a non-dribbling arm.
- If basketball is knocked away, or the student loses control of basketball, the student must exit area, and dribble the basketball once around the outside of the court before re-entering the game.

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.
