HOW TO EXPLAIN THE ACTIVITY
HOW TO EXPLAIN THE ACTIVITY

All students must stay on the lines, create a story around the consequence if you step off the line.

Select 1-4 students to be the taggers who tag using the tennis ball.

Taggers chase the other students attempting to tag them with the ball.

Once a player is tagged they take possession of the tennis ball, and they then become the new tagger.

Student cannot jump from line to line they must access other lines via an intersecting line.

Taggers must be on the same line as the student they are trying to tag.

Taggers may not tag back the person that tagged them.

HOW TO VARY THE ACTIVITY

The taggers remain in possession of the tennis ball, however the tagged students freeze and squat. They must remain there until they are released by a designated 'releaser'. The 'releaser' can be identified by a coloured band.

Change the movement skill that the students must use to move along the lines.

Increase the number of taggers.

Decrease or increase the number of lines available to move on.

Ask the students for their feedback on how the game could be modified, or any ideas they have to change it. Apply these modifications/changes as appropriate.
