STORYLINE
Today we are playing Flying UFO. Your goal is to move as a group in your UFO (hula-hoop). Remember to compliment others when you see someone doing a good job.
INSTRUCTIONS
I will divide the class into groups of three.
Each group will have one UFO.
You must keep all body parts inside the UFO while completing certain tasks.
You must remain safe inside the UFO – you cannot stretch or pull the saucer or it will bend and break.
Game 1: Each group must work together to travel to the midline inside the UFO.
Game 2: Each group must work together to travel to the end line inside the UFO.
Game 3: Each group must work together to perform certain tasks (sit down together, turn 360 degrees together, jump up and down) in the UFO.
Variation: Spread 24 fuzzy balls on the field. Each group must work as a team to try and retrieve as many fuzzy balls as possible while staying inside the UFO.
TEACHING TIPS
Remind the kids to keep encouraging teammates to try their best and show great sportsmanship.
