P.E. Warm-Up, Flag Tag and Dead Ants Tag

Here was our agenda for last week:

1)  New Warm-Up Activity = Fitness Logs

2)  Flag Tag (click here for details of game)

3)  Dead Ants Tag (click here for details of game)

Videos:  Fitness Logs - In order to track progress and prepare for our fitness testing, my 5th graders are keeping a "Fitness Log" with a partner.  Each student is doing a series of ONE MINUTE tests in running, jumping rope, sit-ups and push-ups.  They record partners scores on their "fitness log" and will take these home when completed.

Flag Tag - Players had two flags (tube socks) hanging from their sides. The goal of the game is to keep your flags while others try to pull them off.



Dead Ants Tag - The tagger is called the RAID CAN and tries to run around and tag players (with the small noodle). If a player is tagged, they become a dead ant and must lay on their back with leg and arms extended. To become alive again, 4 alive ants must carry them to an ant hole.
