Catch me if you can:

Number of players : up to 10 in a group. Each player should have a tag belt.

Each player should partner up with someone and then proceed to stand side by side. On the coaches call the players run to that sideline. If the coach calls 1 for example they have to run to the sideline before the 2s can catch them.

Bull Dog:

Large Grid 30m x 30m. Start with 5 defenders in the middle

Everybody else stands at one end of the grid wearing tags. On teachers call, all attackers try to run past the 5 defenders to get to the opposite side of the grid.

Attackers that are tagged join the defenders in the middle, the game keeps going until there are no attackers left.

Follow The Leader:

Large Grid 20m x 20m. Players in groups of 5 with one ball per group

The leader with the ball can run in any direction. The rest of the group must follow like a snake. When the teacher calls Pass, the leader must stop, hold the ball out to the side so the next player can take the ball from their hands and continue running. The leader then joins the back of the group.
