DOG POUND

An area is marked out, usually a large square or rectangle with a circle in the middle. The area should be large enough for all to run freely but not so large that it becomes difficult for the dog catcher.

Start of with two or three dog catchers who wear a sash/colour band.

The dog catchers chase the dogs (everyone else in the class) and attempt to tag them.

Once a dog is tagged the dog catcher says "got you fido" and escorts the dog to the dog pound (circle in the centre).

Dogs in the pound squat and may be freed by other free dogs running through the pound and tagging them.

EQUIPMENT: Cones, Sashes/colour bands.

AREA REQUIRED: Any indoor or out door space large enough to allow whole class to run freely.

BENEFITS
BENEFITS

Spatial Awareness (did I run into anyone?).

Agility (How was I best able to avoid being caught?).

Cooperation (How did it feel to be caught/catch someone? /What did I do once I was caught or I caught someone?).

Discission Making (Who should I chase? /Where should I move to?

HOW TO EXPLAIN THE ACTIVITY
HOW TO EXPLAIN THE ACTIVITY

We're all dogs that have escaped from the dog pound.

The people with the sashes/colour bands on are the dog catchers. They are going to chase us.

If a dog catcher tags you they will say "got you fido". They will then walk you back to the pound in the middle of our area.

The dogs are not allowed to resist the dog catcher.

If a dog catcher tags you, but forgets to take you to the pound, you are free to keep running.

If you run outside our area, it is the same as being tagged and you must go straight to the pound.
