Phase: Warm Up

Split the group into two teams. Introduce five or six beanbags into the game, with red cones in the middle spliting the two teams. Teams must stay in their own half of the area and try to slide the beanbags along the floor hitting the opposition teams feet. Children can jump and dodge or even stop beanbags with their hands. If a child gets hit on the foot they must go and sit at the back of the area behind the opposition. When out if a team mate slides a beanbag all the way across then children can collect the beanbag and join back in the game.

If a child throws the beanbag rather than sliding then they are out and must wait behind the opposition area until they collect a new beanbag.

Encourage children to play the game standing up at all times rather than kneeling down to slide the beanbags.

Remove the line of red cones from the game. Children are now free to run on each side of the area.
