STORYLINE
Today we are playing Satellite. In this game, you are a satellites orbiting space. Your goal is to move in a curved pathway without stopping or changing direction. Make sure that you do not bump into other satellites or get hit by an asteroid (fuzzy balls).
INSTRUCTIONS
Before the game begins, satellites must start on the inside of the track. I will choose one person to start as the thrower.
When I say, “GO!” you must start running, walking or jogging in a curved pathway around the track at your own pace (you cannot change direction or move backwards).
The thrower will try to destroy you by throwing asteroids.
If you are hit, change direction or stop moving, you become a thrower.
We will begin a new game when all students become throwers or after three minutes.
Game 1: Play as indicated above. The teacher can help or start as the thrower.
Game 2: Add two throwers to the beginning of the game.
Variation: Rather than becoming a thrower, hit runners may be momentarily frozen.
Exit Ticket: Students move in a curved pathway to line up to go back to class.
