Step 1
  • Have your class line up on one end of the mat.

Step 2 – Explain the Rules:
  • I will call you over by saying something special such as:
    • Girls or boys only
    • Yellow belts
    • Brown hair
    • Green eyes
  • When I call you over, you will try and race to the other side of the mat without getting tagged by me.
  • If you get tagged then you will sit next to me and become part of my octopus arms.
  • You will then help me tag everyone else, but you must stay sitting and only use your arms tag people.
  • Continue until there is only one student left standing.
Step 3
  • To make it fun, have the last student standing become the new octopus.
Step 4 – Takeaways:
  • Pay attention and move quickly
  • Look where you are going.
  • Stay on your feet; no jumping or sliding.
Step 5
