Partner Crows and Cranes

INSTRUCTIONS:

All students have a partner and line up along two lines facing each other. The lines are about three feet apart. This is an individual game. The partners alternate calling out “Crows!” When one of the partners decides to call out “Cranes,” the other partner must take off and run back to a safety line without being tagged. If the chaser tags them, the chaser gets a point. Players return to the starting line and play again.

TEACHING HINTS:

Assure students are spread out so they don’t run into each other.

Tagging is done with the back of the hand on the shoulder.

Note: There are many different approaches to teaching golf. These lessons offer an outline of essentials that need to be presented. We encourage you to contact some of the organizations that are designed to introduce golf to students. Here are websites that may get you started:

The First Tee: Materials, curriculum, and instructional training are offered: https://firsttee.org/programs/. First Tee offers many training opportunities and also will help schools secure funding for program startups.

SNAG Golf: The acronym SNAG signifies Starting New At Golf. This is an innovative program with special equipment designed to teach golf in small spaces in the school setting. A key element of the program is that it offers many simple techniques and equipment that simplify the game: https://www.snaggolf.com
