STORYLINE
Today we are playing Joey Rescue. In this game, you are all kangaroos living in the outback of Australia and your Joey (fuzzy ball), or baby kangaroo, has fallen out of your pouch. Your goal is to hop while changing from one foot to two feet to escape the Tasmanian devil (tagger) and rescue your Joey! 

INSTRUCTIONS

• When I say, “GO!” you to have to hop, changing from one foot to two feet to try to and pick up a Joey and keep it in your shirt like a pouch.
• When you have picked up a Joey, you may run back and place it on your dot.
• If you are tagged or go out-of-bounds, you must drop the Joey, head back to your dot and try again.
• The tagger(s) must use a two-finger butterfly tag.
• You may only pick up one Joey at a time.
• We will begin a new game when all the Joeys are rescued.

TEACHING TIPS

• Approach:
  • Consider playing short games to give other students a chance to be Tasmanian devils.
• Safety:
  • Make sure students are properly creating pouches out of their shirts.
• ELL Accommodation:
  • Post labeled pictures of skills and game play.
  • Partner with proficient English speakers for directions/modeling and reflections.
• SpEd Accommodation:
  • Set individual goals for physical or behavioral modifications.
  • Allow students to demonstrate skill one-on-one with teacher.
  • Allow students extra time to master the skill.
• Reflection:
  • When I hop, I land on my ...?
  • Something that was hard for me today was..?

STORYLINE
Today we are playing Lily Pads. In this game, you are frogs that have been hopping all day. Your goal is to hop while changing from one foot to two feet to get to a lily pad (dot) in order to rest. 

INSTRUCTIONS

• Before the game begins, everyone must line up along the pond (baseline) shoulder-to-shoulder.
• At the beginning of each round, I will say which lily pads you need to hop to while changing from one foot to two feet.
• If the dot you are standing on is the same color as the one said, you still need to find a new dot.
• When you get to the correct dot, raise a quiet hand to let me know you are ready.
• If you need to share the lily pad with other frogs, place one foot on a part of it so you can share.
• No more than two of you may be on a lily pad at one time.
• We will begin a new round when all of you raise your hands to indicate that you are ready for the new instructions.

TEACHING TIPS

• Approach:
  • Use your grid dots. Have students (by color or individually) bring their grid dot over to the field.  Do the same for restoring the grid, when the game is over.
• Safety:
  • Students should be aware of the other moving students and avoid bumping into one another.
• ELL Accommodation:
  • Post labeled pictures of skills and game play.
  • Partner with proficient English speakers for directions/modeling and reflections.
• SpEd Accommodation:

• Before the game begins, start a line behind the marker cone.
• When I say, “GO!” each of you will take turns hopping through the station one at a time.
• When you have reached the last dot, run back to the front of the line and high-five the next student.
