Week 5: Sept. 23-27
IA Name: Square Dance Tag
Grade Level: 3rd and Up
Equipment: Cones for general space boundaries, pinnies for taggers
Directions:
Have the students find a good self space in general space. Identify two taggers. Upon being tagged the students are to stand and wait to get unfrozen by one of the free "runners." To rejoin the game students must perform one of the square dance steps (i.e. dosi-do, swing your partner) with a free "runner." They must start and end the sequence with the proper ladies curtsy and/or gentlemens bow. Taggers aren't allowed to tag you while you are in the square dance process. Change taggers frequently.
NOTE:
Square dance music adds some fun to this. You can also add to the difficulty by making the general space larger.
