Description:
The students will develop their AGILITY and TEAMWORK during a fun game of Octopus Tag.
Step 1
Set up a target in each corner of the mat (4 corners).
Assign each corner a number 1-4.
Place a chair in the middle of the mat.
Pick one student to be the counter. They will sit on the chair blindfolded.
Step 2 – Explain the Rules:
The student will place the blindfold over his or her eyes and count to 10.
You will QUIETLY run to a corner.
Once the counter reaches the number 10, he or she will call out a corner: 1, 2, 3, or 4.
Big foot race (link 1 of yours and 1 of your partners feet into a slammer pad).
All of the students in that corner are out and must sit against the wall.
Continue until only one student is left.
Step 3 – Additional Rules:
When there are only 4 students let, instruct them to each pick a different corner.
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.
Move quietly as you go.
As the counter, listen before picking a corner.
Step 6
Continue for several rounds so several students get the chance to count.
