STORYLINE
Today we are playing Sleepy Dragons. Your goal is to try and wake the sleeping dragon up by bouncing your ball with two hands continuously.
INSTRUCTIONS
I will begin as the sleeping dragon.
When I say, "GO!" you must try and wake me up by continuously bouncing your ball using two hands. Sometimes, it might take me awhile to wake me from my slumber!
When I do wake up, I will get very angry and try to get you with my fiery breath.
In order to escape, you must take your ball and head back into the cave for safety.
We will begin a new game when I select another dragon to help me.
Game 1: Play as indicated above. Take one dragon with you back at a time.
Game 2: Pretend to wake up, but then fall back asleep again – building anticipation each time.
Game 3: Increase the number of bounces it takes for someone to be freed.
Exit Ticket: Students bounce pass the ball to the teacher for the teacher to put the ball away.
