Week 38: June 9-13
IA Name: Carpenter Tag
Grade Level: 2nd and Up
Equipment: Cones for general space boundaries
Directions:
Select 3 students to be the carpenters or the Its. If you are tagged, you may choose to be either a nail (freeze and extend your arms out to the side to look like a letter T) or a screw (place both hands on top of your head). Nails are freed by gently hammering them until their hands touch the floor (light taps on the head). Screws are freed by twisting them around until their hands touch the floor. No one may be tagged if they are in the process of freeing someone.
Teaching Tips/Variations
Tell students they must nail or twist the screw around at least 5 times before unfreezing.
