How
to Play
- The "it" students must use teamwork in
order to corner one of the other players and tag them with the
ball. Remind the students that the ball cannot be thrown at anyone;
they must tag the person with the ball in their hands.
- The "it" players cannot run with the
ball. They must attempt to move to where the other players are
when they don't have the ball in order to be close enough to tag
them once they get the ball. Quick passing helps the teamwork.
- Once a player is tagged with the ball
they must put on a pinny and become one of the "it" team. This
continues until there is only one player left.
All students on the "it" team should demonstrate
positive behaviour by calling for the ball, moving to open spaces,
and passing quickly and efficiently to help the team strategy work.
Those who do not participate will not be a positive influence to
the team.
Discuss team participation after the game
during the stretching part of the warmup. Avoid pointing fingers
at players who stood back and watched the rest of the "it" team
work together.
Add another ball each time the "it" team grows
by another four people.
Add various types of balls such as footballs,
rugby balls, volleyballs, and even frisbees.
Use a sport specific ball such as a basketball,
and allow only chest passes or bounce passes. Use a rugby ball and
allow only passing back.
These
are clues that you have reached the outcomes ...
Students learn to work together to accomplish
the task. This is evident as the "it" team comes up with more efficient
strategies as the game progresses.
Students
can identify positive behaviours that helped the team to accomplish
their task.
Students
can discuss what they learned about teamwork in this game and how
it applies to other teamwork situations.
