Crocodile River
Spread hoops all around your playing area in the yard
You will need bibs for this game, one for everyone in the class, it’s often a good idea to give each student a bib to stick in their pocket or hang from their trousers at the start of the game so they have it on hand when needed.
Nominate two chasers (Crocodiles) and get them to put their bibs on.
The hoops are safe spaces, players cannot be caught when standing in hoops and they may move from hoop to hoop but outside of the hoop they may be tagged.
When teacher calls “River” no player is allowed inside hoops for 30 seconds, players must dodge taggers while staying outside of hoops at the same time.
Anyone who gets tagged at any time during the game must put on their bib and become a Crocodile.
Vary movements by introducing hopping and jumping.
