Steal the Gold - Outcome C (4-6)-3

	Stopping
	Running
	Ball Bouncing
	Rat and Phil on Fundamental Skills

Arrange students into groups of four and send each group to a designated corner of the gymnasium or field.

Each corner will have a basket or pile of the same number of beanbags, sponges, rubber chickens, quoits, or whatever non-rolling object you decide to use.

On the signal "go", students leave their respective corners and run, skip, gallop, dribble a basketball, or whatever skill you are working on, to another corner where they take one beanbag each. They return the beanbag to their corner and place it in their basket. Then they go to a different corner and do the same thing and so on until the beanbags are gone or time is up.

To incorporate even more fair play into this activity, have the students go one or two at a time to obtain the beanbags. Students have to monitor and take turns so that all team members get a chance to go.

Music is a great motivator. Play it between rounds to get the students moving.
