Lions & Tigers & Bears

Lions, Tigers & Bears

Length of Activity: 20-30 minutes

Optimal Student Grade Level: K-2

Steve’s Notes: This game is a great way to introduce use of the PFA equipment properly and safely. This game can get very tiring. You can introduce terms, "Heart/Lung Workout" or "Cardio Workout" & "Continuous Movement"

How to Play:

Divide the class into 3 teams -Lions, Tigers & Bears-

The teams do work tasks to earn three cups. The team that earns the most cups, wins.

Tasks

Kick a ball to certain spot and back
Jog to certain spot and back
Do a PFA station "Round the World Touch" this is when the students go to PFA stations and touch each station and yell its name as you touch it.
Do a different task each time.

After finishing any task, the students go and get three cups and add them to their teams’ giant circle… then they may go and do another task. M If it is windy, give each team 3 thin-topped pylons & they may stack their cups on the pylons.

Equipment

Several hundred cups…. Pylons and kick balls

Helpful Hints

Have 4 or 5- 5^th graders (if you can get them out of class) assist/help with this lesson.

One older kid works/trouble-shoots with the lions, one with the tigers, one with the bears

Have older kids stay at stations to encourage and help tell them names of stations
