Phase: Activities

The aim of this activity is to move around the area following the intstructions to avoid contact with the other players.

Define an area for the activity. Players spread out and preform the lomotor skills described by the coach while moving around in the area. When "freeze" is called, players must stop as quickly as possible. If two or more players make contact, they must stop and preform two star jumps before carrying on.

Locomotor skills to use:  run, side to side, bounce, skip, gallop, hopscotch

stability skills to use: freeze on one leg, freeze in wide stance, freeze in narrow stance, freeze with different combinations of hands and feet.

Incourage students to:

  • look ahead and move into spaces.
  • change direction quickly.
  • make smooth transitions between movements.
  • listen and respond to instructions
  • think about which movement to preform ahead of time.

Modifications

on a call of 'change' players change the locomotor skill they preform. on a call of 'direction' players change the direction they are travelling.

Special Needs Modifications

reduce the number of players in the area. Let players choose their own ways of moving.
