Name of Activity:

Cue Tag

Suggested Grade Level:

3-5

Materials Needed:

5 scarves of one color, 8 scarves of another color, cones for boundaries

Description of Idea

Have 5 students be the Taggers. They carry one color scarf. Have 8 students be the Defrosters and they carry the other color scarf. Use any type of locomotor skill to move in the tag game. When a student is frozen, they must raise their hand. To get unfrozen a Defroster must come by and they must tell a cue (e.g., step with the opposite foot for throwing, bend knees when jumping and landing) about overhand throwing or whatever cues you have been teaching. Change the Taggers and Defrosters and play again. This activity can be used to reinforce a lot of ideas e.g., they could tell a muscle, they could tell an aerobic exercise, they could tell a sport using striking, etc.
