Name of Activity: Ghostbusters

Suggested Grade Level: 3-5

Materials Needed: Ghosterbusters Theme Song, Tape/CD player, 6-8 Medium sized Foam Balls, Gym or Large Area

Description of Idea

On the teachers signal, the slimers attempt to tag the other students with the foam balls. When a student is tagged he/she must stop, place his/her hands on their head and stand with their legs in straddle position. To be deslimed,another student must run up and say "WHO YA GONNA CALL?"; the person who is slimed must say "GHOSTBUSTERS". The student that approached the slimed student then slides through the slimed students legs. (For students in skirts, dresses, or are physically challenged they can be tagged on the shoulder). That person is then free to run again. After two minutes, stop the game and have taggers give the ball to a student who has not been it yet.

Teaching Suggestions:

Make sure students have been taught to move safely through general space without crashing into others.

Taggers must tag gently below the shoulders.

Students who fall down cannot be tagged.
