PE Central

Week 34: April 27-May 1, 1998

IA Name: Fire Safety Tag

Grade Level: 2-5

Equipment: Cones to mark off activity area, tissue paper, red sock

Directions:

Choose 3/4 students to be taggers. Give those students a red sock stuffed with tissue paper. When the taggers tag the "runners" (we encourage you start with running and use other locomotor patterns instead of running) with the socks and say "FIRE", the tagged person must shout "Stop, Drop, and Roll", and then perform those movements (stop, drop, and roll) before contiunuing to play the game. After a few minutes, new taggers are selected and the activity continues.

Safety Tips:

  • Do not allow students to use the sock in a harmful way while tagging.
  • Tell students to move carefully since their classmates will be on the floor part of the time.
