Activity Description:
This fun spy activity will get your ‘agents’ warmed up and ready for any activ8 challenge.
Overview:
  • Students work in groups of four and number off 1-2-3-4.
  • Within their group, 1 chases 2 (and avoids 4), 2 chases 3 (and avoids 1), 3 chases 4 (and avoids 2) and 4 chases 1 (and avoids 3).
  • Identify the “re-entry task” that students do when they are tagged; e.g., touch each sideline of the gym, full turn jump at the side of the gym. After completing the task, students rejoin the game.
  • Remind students to move carefully, being aware of others moving in different directions in the space.
  • Designate a “spy rehabilitation” area to perform re-entry tasks.
