Teaching Hints:

Description:

  1. Scatter children in the area with 2-3 taggers and 2-3 index card holders...
  2. On the music or signal. Children move around the space using different locomotor skills as directed by teacher. (skip, hop, jog, leap, jump etc.)
  3. Moving children try to avoid being tagged. Tagged children must freeze in a statue position or kneel down.
  4. In order to join the game again and be unfrozen a place value card holder must come over to them and they have to state what place value is represented on the index card.
  5. For example, if the place value card has the number 456 on it and the 4 is underlined, they student needs to say what place value the 4 is in. (hundreds)
