HOW TO EXPLAIN THE ACTIVITY
HOW TO EXPLAIN THE ACTIVITY

Select 6 students to be the taggers and give them a basketball each.

Select 2 students who will be the defrosters, and give them a bean bag each.

The aim is for the taggers to tag as many students as possible whilst dribbling their basketballs.

Any student who is tagged must immediately freeze on the spot.

Frozen students can be released by the defrosters tagging them.

Defrosters walk around the area with their bean bags on their heads whilst releasing the frozen students.

Defrosters can not be tagged by the basketball dribbling taggers, however if the beanbag falls off the head of the defroster then they must freeze themselves, leaving the bean bag where it fell.

Another student can come along pick up the bean bag place it on their own head and assume the role of the defroster. They then can free any frozen students.
