Dive Tag - Outcome A (10-30)-1

Instruct a number of students to find a partner. Direct these pairs of students to lie on the floor on their stomachs, shoulder to shoulder with their partners. Make sure the pairs are spread out all over the gym floor. These pairs on the floor are considered the safe zones.

Determine who is going to be "it", and give each of these students a coloured pinnie to carry in their hands. The pinnies identify them as being "it". The rest of the class is not paired up and can be chased by the "it" players.

How to Play

• To avoid getting tagged, the students being chased can dive and/or roll to the floor and slide up to one of the pairs on the floor.
• Once they do that, the student on the opposite side from where the newcomer joined has to get up and run, as this student is no longer safe from being tagged.
• There can never be more than two students lying next to one another on the floor.
• As a player gets tagged, the pinnie is handed over so it is easy to identify the players who are "it".

Have a volleyball team use the proper diving technique to get to the floor.

Instruct certain students to link arms while standing and facing in opposite directions from each other. These students are considered the safe zones. When a third person links onto this pair, the student on the opposite end must let go and run as this student is no longer safe. Players are not safe if they link arms while facing in the same direction as the student beside them.
