WARRIORS, WARLOCKS AND ELVES

Divide the group into two teams.

Create a playing space with a centre line and two base lines at each end to mark the safe zones.

Each team goes to its safe zone and decides which of the three characters to be.

Once both teams have a character they face off along the halfway line, 1m apart.

On the signal each team assumes its character.

Warriors beat warlocks, warlocks beat elves and elves beat warriors.

The winning team tries to tag the other team before they reach their safe zone.

HOW TO EXPLAIN THE ACTIVITY
HOW TO EXPLAIN THE ACTIVITY

The battlefield is set with a safe zone for each team, we will meet in the centre to do battle.

Each team must choose one of warriors, warlocks or elves to be in battle.

Warriors - see core movement pose SIDE WARRIOR and add scary noise "ha aaa".

Warlocks - see core movement pose STANDING OVERHEAD ARMS and add the scary noise "Wooooo".

Elves - assume squatting position with fingers for horns and the scary noise "Nee Nee Nee".

On my command each team will assume their most fearsome version of the character they have chosen.

The winning team will attempt to capture people from the opposition to join their team.

Once the players have reached their safe zone they cannot be captured.

If both teams chose the same character, shake hands with the opposition and try again.
