4 min.- Instant Activity 
 

Materials Needed: Cones for general space boundaries 

Description of Idea

Children are in scattered formation within the playing area. The activity begins with all of the students being "it". The objective of the activity is for the students to move about the general space tagging various classmates while avoiding being tagged. 

Once a student is tagged he/she must perform a previously identified fitness exercise (i.e., sit ups, dance). If a double tag occurs both students perform the agreed upon task. The length of time to use for this instant activity should be based on how safely the students are able to move about the general space. 

Teaching Suggestions:

1. Don't let students perform the exercises incorrectly! Have them redo if they perform them using poor techniques. 

2. Limit the speed and type of movement until the students are able to move safely through general space (i.e. walking first). 

3. Once the students are comfortable with the activity it is possible to alternate between the fitness components (i.e., curl-ups and static stretching). 

4. May want to have students move to the side of the area to complete their exercises if you are working in a very crowded area. 

5. Make sure all students understand that they need to be aware of students on the floor while they are moving. Don't trip over them.

-Follow through at target

5 min.-Screening

4 min.-Give and Go's

-Receiver's movement towards ball often determines timing of pass

2 vs. 2 will be played on 20 by 20 yard field. Goals will be about 2 feet apart.When playing games of 2 vs. 2 students will be matched up with same skill level. Students keep same numbers from previous day.There will be two referees per field. Ones and two will be together on a field.Threes and fours will play each together on a field.Fives and sixes will play together on a field.

Games will be timed of 3 minutes.

Game #1:Mexico vs. Belgium- USA ref.

Game #2:Belgium vs. USA- Mexico ref.

4. If the ball goes out of bounds on the goal-line by the defending team, a corner kick will occur.

5. If the ball goes out of bounds on the goal line by the offensive team, a goal kick will occur. Goal kicks may be taken anywhere within the 5 yard area in front of the goal. The ball must be stationary and kicked from the ground.
