Cycle:
1-2-3
Activity Level: high
QEP: Competency I
Equipment: playing area
Formation: scatter
Tactics: acceleration, awareness, deceleration, agility
Description: In this game, every student is a tagger, and all the students attempt to tag each other. If tagged, a student must freeze on the spot and go into a simple balancing position and hands held out with palms facing up. In order to get freed, another student must come and tap on the frozen student's hands three times and say “you're free!”. When freeing a fellow class member, it is not possible to get tagged, therefore this position is base.
