Name of Activity: Toad Tag

Suggested Grade Level: 1-3

Materials Needed: Cones for boundary markers, a fairly large, open space, foam balls or other objects to identify children as taggers

Description of Idea

After students find a good self space in the activity area choose 2-3 taggers (have them carry a ball or wear pinnies). On the teacher's signal their job is to move throughout the area tagging others using a locomotor pattern of your choice like walking, hopping, skipping, etc. When tagged, a spell has been cast upon them, turning them into a toad or frog. As toads, the children must jump around like toads until someone who is not a tagger, touches them lightly on the back to change them back into a person. They now participate as normal trying to avoid being tagged again. Change taggers after a few minutes.
