Movement skills/concepts

Chasing and fleeing, and quick change of direction.

Set-up

• Children in pairs, with two bases/discs and one bowling pin per pair.
• Set-up the pin between the two bases, approximately 3 meters from each one. One of the pair stands on each base.

Activity

Each player tries to snatch the bowling pin and return to the base without getting tagged. The player who snatches the pin first is the ‘snatcher’ and the other becomes the ‘tagger’. If the snatcher is tagged before reaching their base then the pin is returned to the center. Start on the signal.

Variations

Vary the distance: Increase or decrease the distance between the pin and the bases.
