Game: Ball Tag

  • Use designated area (Inside of cone circle that has been set up for laps warm up is perfect)
  • Designate two catchers and give them a ball each.
  • On go students can run anywhere inside the circle but cannot step outside cones.

    • Round 2 Hopping on one foot
    • Round 3 Broad Jumps
