Lesson:
The teacher will split the class into two separate teams.
One team will be the “offense,” the other will be the
“defense”. The
teacher will also choose a team leader for each team.
To distinguish teams, the teacher can hand out different
color flags that will be placed in the waistband of the two
different teams.
The
two teams will go to opposite sides of the playing field.
Once there, the “offense” will form a huddle and the
leader of the team will take one of the balls and distribute them
to different players. The
leader should be careful to hide who is receiving the balls from
the other team. When
ready, the offense will try to make it to the other side of the
playing area without being tagged.
If a player is tagged, they must show the other team their
hands. If they had
one of the balls, they must hand it over (they were tackled).
If not, they have faked out the other team and may continue
faking so others can score. If
a student with the ball reaches the other end of the field, they
score a “touchdown” and receive a point for their team.
When all players have scored a touchdown or been tackled,
then the teams will switch roles and continue.
As
the game progresses, a new leader will be picked by the old
leader, and new students should be picked to carry the ball.
GENERAL
RULES:
- Players
must stay inside the playing field.
- Ball
carriers may not hide the ball or hand it off during the game
to avoid being tackled.
- All
tagging is done with one hand.
No one is allowed to pull clothing or push.
- Defensive
team must stay on their end line until the offense breaks from
the huddle.
