PRACTICE

1. I will divide the class into two groups.  Form a line with your group, starting at the baseline.  When I say, "GO!" take turns running up to the tall cone (defender) and faking to the left so you can run to the right and to the midline.  When you reach the midline, run back to your line and high-five the next player in line. 
2. When I say, “GO!” complete the same task but faking to the right so you can run to the left and out to the midline.

STORYLINE
Today we are playing Chaos Flag Tag. In this game, your goal is to use a fake to get away from a classmate before he/she pulls your flag.

INSTRUCTIONS

• When I say, “GO!” you have to try to pull the flags of your classmates and avoid your flag being pulled.
• If your flag is pulled, you are down and must sit or crouch.
• You can get up when the student that pulled your flag is down.
• If you and another student pull each other’s flags at the same time, Ro Sham Bo to determine who goes down.
• You are safe when you are doing Ro Sham Bo.
• You may not form an alliance or partner up with another student. This is an individual game.
• We will begin a new round when there is only one remaining student.

INSTRUCTIONS

• I will divide the class into two teams. Each team begins on their side of the field.
• When I say, “GO!” you have to grab the other team’s rocks or defend your team’s rocks. You may only grab one rock at a time.
• If you cross the midline and enter the other team’s side, you can be tagged. You cannot be tagged when you are on your side of the field.
• If you are tagged, you must go back to your side. If you are in possession of a rock when you are tagged, you must return it.
• We will begin a new game when one team has all the rocks on their side of the field.
