Week 6: Sept.
22-26, 1997
IA Name: Ghostbusters
Grade Level:
3-5
Equipment: Ghosterbusters Theme Song,
Tape/CD player,
6-8 Medium sized Foam Balls,
Gym or Large Area
Directions:
Choose 6-8 students to be slimers. Give these students some soft
foam balls. They are to tag their classmates with the balls and are
not to throw them. Have these students stand in the center of the
playing area to begin the game.
On the teachers signal, the slimers
attempt to tag the other students with the foam balls. When
a student is tagged he/she must stop, place his/her hands on their head
and stand with their legs in straddle position. To be deslimed,another
student must run up and say "WHO YA GONNA CALL?"; the person who is
slimed must say "GHOSTBUSTERS". The student that approached the
slimed student then slides through the slimed students legs. (For
students in skirts, dresses, or are physically challenged they can be
tagged on the shoulder). That person is then free to run again. After two
minutes, stop the game and have taggers give the ball
to a student who has not been it yet.
Safety Tips:
Make sure students have been taught to move safely
through general space without crashing into others.
Taggers must tag gently below the shoulders.
Students who fall down cannot be tagged.
