STORYLINE
Today we are playing Passing Ships. In this game, the objective is to make it to the other side without being taken over by a pirate (tagger). Remember, we are working together in this game to help us create a community.
INSTRUCTIONS
I will begin as the pirate.
Before the game begins, line up on the baseline shoulder-to-shoulder.
I will call out a ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ statement (Do you have a pet? Did you eat breakfast this morning? Are you wearing shoes? Have you ever been to the beach?).
If you answer, “Yes” you must run to the end line without being tagged.
If you answer, “No” you stay on the baseline.
You have three seconds to leave the baseline after I call out the statement.
If you are tagged or go out-of-bounds, you become a pirate the next round.
We will begin a new game once there are no ships left.
Game 1: Give ships three lives, or chances, when tagging.
Game 2: Play as indicated above.
Game 3: Play with flags instead of tagging.
Exit Ticket: Students answer how these games helped them a build community.
