AEROPLANES AND AIRPORTS

An area is marked out and filled with hoops, the Airports. The space should allow for free movement of the whole class.

All the class are aeroplanes and run in the space.

A plane can land in an airport (hoop) at any time.

Only one person in a hoop at a time.

If a person is in a hoop, they must leave if another person wants to move in.

EQUIPMENT: Hoops and sashes/colour bands.

AREA REQUIRED: Section or entire court space. Any other area, indoor or outdoor relative to size of group.

BENEFITS
BENEFITS

Spatial awareness (Did I touch anyone?).

Cooperation (Who got to the airport first, second?).

Honesty (Did I leave when another plane came to land?).

Decision Making (where will I move to? Why?).

HOW TO EXPLAIN THE ACTIVITY
HOW TO EXPLAIN THE ACTIVITY

We are all going to be aeroplanes. Let me see your wings.

We can fly any where we like in our space.

The hoops are our airports and we can land in them. However, they are very small, only one aeroplane at a time can fit in them.

If another aeroplane wants to land in our airport we must move on to let them land.

Once we are out of the airport we can fly around and find a new airport to land in.

CUES FOR DEBRIEF / REFLECTION
CUES FOR DEBRIEF / REFLECTION

Did I touch anyone?

Where did I run to? Why?

How did it feel to land in an airport?

How did it feel to have to leave an airport?

How did it feel to tag someone?

How did it feel to be tagged?

How did I avoid being tagged?

HOW TO VARY THE ACTIVITY
HOW TO VARY THE ACTIVITY

Begin with enough hoops for ¾ of the class. As the game progresses take hoops away one at a time.

Introduce the Airport Police. Students wear a sash/colour band and try to tip aeroplanes that are outside the airports. If a student is tagged, they swap jobs with the airport police.

Combine both variations (above) of the game.
