Game Description:
A Star Wars themed multi skill game
Objective:
To avoid being frozen by the storm troopers like Han Solo in carbonate!
Game Rules:
Have all the children running around, and pick a couple of children to be the storm troopers. The storm troopers are giving a hula hoop, which is their blaster. The storm troopers place the blaster flat on the group, and must kick the hula hoop, trying to tag a child on their feet with the hula hoop. If a child is tagged by a hula hoop they must freeze, and wait for a Jedi to save them with a light sabre. Pick a few children to be the Jedi's and give them a pool noodle which will act as their light sabres. If a child is saved by a Jedi, they are back into the game. Be sure to switch up the roles of the children, to ensure everyone gets a chance to try to be either a storm trooper or a Jedi.
Saftey Considerations:
Create clear boundaries for the children to run into. Be sure to remind the children they are kicking the hula hoop when it is flat on the ground.
Adaptations (optional):
Switch up the movement, try galloping, skipping.
