Everyone's IT Frozen Tag is one of my students' favourite chasing and fleeing games for physical education. In the game, everyone is IT: all players attempt to tag others as they simultaneously avoid being tagged.
Make sure students keep their head up when running.
Teach students how to properly tag another player.
Builds allow you to increase the game's complexity, one layer at a time.
Players get into a scattered formation. On the teacher's signal, all players begin moving about the playing area while avoiding contact with other players.
This build exists to help students understand the limits of the game while developing their dodging skills.
Players now play the game with the full version of the rules.
If a frozen player wishes to unfreeze themselves, they may do so by performing a predetermined physically active movement for a certain number of repetitions or duration, such as dancing for ten seconds or completing five jumping jacks.
If a player wishes to defend themselves against being tagged, meaning to be on base, they may do so by assuming a balance position known as Nose/Toes Base.
The player must balance on one foot while simultaneously holding their opposite foot's toes and their nose.
Players may be on base for no more than ten seconds. Taggers may not touch a player in Nose/Toes Base, nor may they wait for a player in Nose/Toes Base to lose balance or run out of time.
Print the game sheet, leave it on your desk, and your sub has everything they need: the diagrams, the builds in order, what to say, and what to watch for. This one is $4. #PhysEdU Plus members get all 39, free forever, for $49 a year.
