DPA - Sample Games by Division & Location

Safety Considerations

• Make sure the floor is free of any obstructions.
• Inform students that this isn't a race. Pushing and running are not allowed.

Instructions

• Divide class into two parallel lines facing each other. Have one line at one end of the gym and one at the other end. If this activity is done outdoors, use pylons to indicate where the lines are.
• Students are asked to cross through the other line on their way to the other side of the room.
• To cross through the other line, students are to, "Walk like..."
• ...someone going into cold water.
• ...your shoes are too tight.
• ...you have a rock in your shoe.
• ...a penguin.
• ...a bride going down the aisle.
• ...you're going up a big hill.
• ...you're in high heels.
• ...you're walking in deep mud.
• ...a soldier.

Accommodations/Modifications

• Have the students create their own "Walk like..." commands. Choose a different student each time and alternate from one line to the other.
• Change the command to "Move like..." For example, "Move like an elephant" (students on hands and knees with one hand being using as a tusk), etc.
