PART 1: INTRODUCTORY ACTIVITY (2-3 mins): Marking

Activity Teaching Hints
We start by teaching partner tag. One partner  The goal is not to play a chase game, but
moves while the other partner attempts to tag rather to dodge and change directions in

The following partner tries to reach and touch
(mark) the partner. If a mark is made, that
partner receives a point. Resume the chase
with the roles reversed.
