Set Induction: Hi class! What does a magician do? That’s right, they use a wand to perform magic! I want you to put on your imagination glasses, and guess what kind of animal a magician with a magic wand might turn someone into. The answer for this game is a frog!
Content Development: When we flee and dodge, it is very important to be aware of our surroundings. You don’t want to run into another person, or trip! When we play a tagging game, we use soft tags. This means we don’t hit the other person as hard as we can. We want to tap them gently, like this [demonstrate]. Alright, I think you guys are ready for our game!
Culminating Activity: Today we are going to play a game called It’s a Froggy Frog World! There are going to be two magicians, who have a magic wand. It is the magicians’ job to tag the other players. If you are tagged, you’ve turned into a frog! You have to do five frog jumps [demonstrate] then you can get back into the game! Any questions? Ready, set, go!
