Fastest Tag Ever

INSTRUCTIONS:

All students are it. On signal, they try to tag each other. If they are tagged, they must freeze, but they are eligible to tag other students who pass near them. If two or more players tag each other simultaneously, they are both/all “frozen.”

TEACHING HINTS:

Get all students quickly involved in the activity. Restart the game often rather than waiting for all students to be tagged.

Hexagon Hustle

INSTRUCTIONS:

Tape alternating segments of silence and music to signal duration of exercise. Music segments indicate moving around the hexagon while intervals of silence announce flexibility and strength development activities.

TEACHING HINTS:

Outline a large hexagon with six cones. Place signs with locomotor movements on both sides of the cones. Locomotor movements to use are Jogging, skipping, galloping, hopping, jumping, sliding, leaping, and animal movements. Sport movements such as defensive sliding, running backwards, and running and shooting jump shots can also be used. The signs identify the hustle activity students are to perform as they approach a cone.

During the hustle, faster moving students should pass on the outside of the hexagon.

Change directions at times to keep students spaced out properly.

Shoulder and Pass Blocks and Spinning Drills

INSTRUCTIONS:

See the task sheet below. It contains the techniques to teach students. Go through the key points and demonstrate where necessary.

TEACHING HINTS:

Move students into groups of three and have them designate which role they will assume first.

Place equipment and task sheets at designated areas.

Pass Ball

INSTRUCTIONS:

Pass Ball is a more open game than Flag Football, but the rules are similar except for the following differences. Keep the teams relatively small so players have more opportunity to pass and catch.

The ball may be passed at any time. It can be thrown at any time beyond the line of scrimmage, immediately after an interception, during a kickoff, or during a received kick.
Four downs are given to score a touchdown.
Players use a two-handed touch on the back instead of pulling a flag. Flags can be used, however.
If the ball is thrown from behind the line of scrimmage and results in an incomplete pass, the ball is down at the previous spot on the line of scrimmage. If the pass originates otherwise and is incomplete, the ball is placed at the spot from which this pass was thrown.
Because the ball can be passed at any time, no downfield blocking is permitted. A player may screen the ball carrier but cannot make a block. Screening is defined as running between the ball carrier and the defense.
