Description: The students will develop their REACTION, SPEED and COORDINATION during a fast and fun game.
Step 1
  • Have everyone make a big circle.
  • Select one person to go first.
Step 2 – Explain the Rules:
  • You will walk around the circle tapping each student gently on the top of the head as you say “ninja.”
  • You will select one person by gently tapping them on the head and saying “turtle!”
  • The turtle will chase you around the circle, and you will try to make it back and sit in the turtle’s spot.
  • If the turtle tags you, then you go into the “mush pot” and everyone else gets to tickle you.
  • You cannot change directions when you are running.
  • You must sit in the turtles spot or else you go in the “mush pot.”
  • Once you have a turn, you must place your legs straight out (to show you’ve had a turn) and you do not get another turn until everyone else gets a turn to be the turtle.
Step 3 – Additional Rules:
  • Move fast! Get up and run quickly!
  • If the counter calls out an empty, then he or she gets a strike.
Step 4
  • If the counter gets 3 strikes then he or she is done counting and one of the students left in the game gets to be the new counter.
Step 5 – Takeaways:
  • Move quickly from corner to corner.
  • Use your breaks, don’t slide or fall.
  • Run around and not through your teammates.
Step 6
  • Continue until every student has a turn.
