Before You Start:
Skills Practiced: Balance, agility and body awareness.
- Line up the students on a line.
- Number the students from one to ten (or depending on how many students are playing).
How To Play:
- Once the students are in line in specific order, the object of the game is to get the whole group to switch positions on the line without falling off the line.
- If student #1 begins on the left end of the line, he or she should end up on the right end of the line.
- The order of the students should remain exactly how it was before, only in reverse.
Variations:
- Split the students into two groups. They should be standing on the line facing the other group.
- The object is to have the two groups switch places while staying in the same order.
- Vary the width of the line with a wider line being easier or vary the distance of the playing area from the ground to add a challenge.
