QUICK LINE UP
Activity
Level: medium
QEP: Competency II
Equipment: playing area
Formation: teams
Tactics: cooperation, organization
Description: The class is divided into 4 equal teams. Each team stands shoulder to shoulder in a line, and the 4 teams together should form a large square. The teacher should stand in the middle of the square, therefore one team will be facing him or her, one will be on the left, one on the right, and one in the back. The students will have to memorize their position compared to the teacher, and their position in their team's line, such as being the third from the top of the line, and on the left side of the teacher. Then the teacher will change directions and say “Quick! Line up!”, and the students will all have to shift their position so that they go back to how they were. The first team to set up in the right place and order scores a point.
