Week 24: Feb. 24-28, 1997
IA Name: Abdominal Tag
Grade Level: 2nd and Up
Equipment: Cones for general space
Directions:
Children are in scattered formation within the playing area. Identify two/three chasers either with a pinnie or have them carry a foam ball. On the signal the chasers try to tag the other students.
When someone is tagged, they must lay on their backs and put their feet and hands in the air. (Have them point their hands and toes to the ceiling). To get unfrozen free runners must tag one of the hands that are pointed in the air. This is typically very good for the abdominal muscles.
Teaching Tips
Make sure students do not put hands or feet down to the ground during the game. They may trip others.
Variations
Have students pretend to ride a bike with their legs while they are on their backs.
