Skill: GAMES
Drill: Capture the Flag
Equipment needed: 10 small cones, 2 medium cones, and 1 timer
Instructors needed: 1-2 to monitor
Description: The students will work on their versatility and teamwork as they battle to steal and return the flag to their side.
Step 1
  • Divide the class into two teams.
  • For each side, make one small box with the small cones and place the medium cone “flag” inside. On a corner of the mat place the last small cone down for the “jail”
Step 2 -Explain the rules:
  • Set the timer for 5 minutes.
  • You can score points 2 ways:(a) Run at the cone, run back without being tagged.(b) Get in the small square without being tagged, you have 4 tries to throw it back to your teammates.
  • After each throw, everyone pauses so the cone can be returned.
  • If you are tagged, you must go to the tagging team’s jail and put one foot on the cone, you can make a human chain if more people are out.
  • You can be brought out of jail if a teammate tags you, but you must go directly back to your side.
Step 3
  • No sliding, falling, or jumping for safety
  • The team with the most points at the end is the winner.
