Game Description:
A fun way game to teach children different locomotion skills!
Objective:
Be the fish to find everyone in their school first!
Game Rules:
Give each child a specific locomotion movement in secret, whether it is galloping, skipping, running or jumping. Have all the children spread out, and when the game begins they must do that locomotion movement that was given to them while also looking for other members of their “school” that are doing the same movement. Once they find other members of their school, they move together to find all the people who are doing the same movement. Once a team has found everyone they can sit down to let the leader know they are finished!
Saftey Considerations:
Be sure to remind all children to move with their heads up.
Progression (optional):
Add different movement skills as the children get more comfortable with the basic ones.
