Pajaggle Stacks

Hold up a Pajaggle (large foam puzzle piece) and show the students that the outside piece is the ring. Click Pajaggle for more information.
The inside piece is the insert. If there is a still smaller insert, this is called a mini insert.
Note: Use your hand only whenever you are removing an insert from a ring.

Activity: Team Pajaggle

Distribute a class set of Pajaggles (Large foam puzzle pieces) at one end of the gym.
Separate the rings and the inserts.
Relay: Line up the classes in four equal lines at the opposite end.
First person on each team gets ready to run.

Guidelines:

On the teacher’s signal, students run to the end of the gym and pick up one ring.
They run back to their line and give a high five to the next person in line.
The second person in line will pick up an insert that they think matches the ring.
If it fits, the next person in line runs down and gets a new ring.
If the insert does not fit, the next person in line returns the insert and tries to find another one that fits.
This continues all of the pieces are gone.

Game: Chasers and Puzzlers (This event is timed)

Setup and Equipment

The class is divided in half.
One half of the class are the chasers and the other half is the puzzlers.
The puzzlers sit around the center circle in the gym.
The pajaggles are set up at one end of the gym with the inserts taken out.
The chasers line up their relay teams, so they can easily pass beside the puzzlers in the center of the gym.

Guidelines:

On teacher’s signal, the chasers run one at a time to pick up one piece at a time and hand it off to the puzzlers.
The puzzlers will begin to put the pajaggles together in one giant puzzle.
Chasers continue running until all of the pieces are in the center of the gym.
Puzzlers continue until the giant puzzle is put together.
The teacher stops the time when everyone is sitting down and the puzzle is completed.
For a Challenge: Classes may compete against each other, to see who has the lowest score

Setup and Equipment:

Players are divided into two teams.
Each team has a different colored jersey.
The wall for each team has a gym mat in it, this is the “Cooler” for the opposing team.
Six foam targets are placed at each end of the gym (inside of a hula hoop). It works best if the team with the blue jerseys are retrieving the blue targets, etc.
The area between the wall and the endline is the designated safe area for opposing players attempting to retrieve their pin. Only one player from the opposing team may be in the safe area at a time.

The Object of the Game: Players attempt to remove the pins from the opposing team’s endline and return them to their own endline.
The Game is Over: when all of the pins have crossed the line and are in their team’s safe zone.

Guidelines:

Students are safe on their own side.
If a player crosses the center line they may be tagged by the opposing team.
Tagged players are frozen until a teammate reaches them and grabs their hand.
They both are allowed free walk-backs to their side, as long as they are holding hands and have their hands raised in the air.

Players that reach the opposing team’s targets are safe as long as their hand is on the pin and they remain behind the line in the safe zone.
If the player removes their hand from the targets, the opposing player may tag them and the target stays at that spot. The tagged player goes to the “Cooler”.
As soon as the target leaves the safe zone line the player may be tagged. The target is set down at this spot. The player who was carrying the pin, then returns to their side.
Only one player at a time may be in the safe zone. If two players are in the safe zone at the same time, they both must go to the “Cooler”.
A player that is tagged while carrying a pin must set the target down at that spot and go to the “Cooler”.
Targets may never be thrown.

Diabolo

Diabolo Tricks Link

Start by setting the diabolo on the string and then on the floor to your right.
Set the diabolo in front of your right foot, stand up and move to farther to the right if possible.
The farther the diabolo is set to the right of you, the more spin possible. (Note: lefties will need to set the diabolo to the left)
Before rolling the diabolo, stand pointing your sticks at the diabolo off to your left. The string should be hanging from sticks to diabolo. If not position the diabolo even farther right.
Roll the diabolo across the floor in front of you. Start your roll slow, but accelerate faster as the diabolo moves left.
As the diabolo reaches a point in front of you (before your left foot’s position); gently lift the diabolo up with both sticks.
The diabolo should be spinning counterclockwise.
Try to center the diabolo and begin to pull harder with the Right handstick.
Practice goals are to reach a medium speed without causing the diabolo to swing wildly after the pickup.

Tips:

Once you know how to get the diabolo spinning, the next problem is to keep it from tilting.
If the diabolo’s near cup is tilted down toward you, put your right stick forward. You can keep pulling with your stick forward to keep your speed up as you correct.
If the diabolo’s near cup is tilted up toward you, put your right stick back. You can keep pulling with your stick back to keep your speed up as you correct.

Soccer Frenzy – Ball Frenzy – Super Ball Frenzy

1. Soccer Frenzy: Kicking only – Including Goalies

2. Ball Frenzy: Throwing only – Goalies may use hands and body

3. Super Ball Frenzy: Throwing and Kicking allowed. Goalies may also use hands and/or kick

Setup and Equipment:

Twenty pins are lined up on the black lines in front of the opposing walls.
It works best to pick a couple of students to begin setting up the targets while the rules are covered and the teams set.
Break class into two teams. In our gym we have four teams (red, blue, yellow, green). So it’s pretty easy to put two teams on each side.
The dividing line in the middle of the gym cannot be crossed
Each team has twenty pins that are defended by goalies on their team.
Each team starts with an equal number of soft foam balls.(between 10-15 works well)
Players sit in front of their targets and wait for the music to start to begin the game.

Guidelines:

The object of the game is to knock down all of the targets on the opposite side of the gym.
The balls may be thrown or kicked, depending on which game you’re playing.
No balls may be knocked out of the air with a thrown ball
When a targets is knocked down, it works best if it is immediately put into the container that it came from.
Note: For K,1,2 they often choose to put the targets back up.
Players may switch on their team between protecting the targets and throwing at the other team’s targets.
If a goalie accidentally knocks over targets, they must stay down
Switch ends of the gym after all targets are knocked down.

Set a pail with beanbags at the opposite side of the gym. Put the poly spots in a circle surrounding the the pail. Put the 5 point spots closest to the pail, the 10 point spots go next. The spots that are the most challenging are the 20 point spots which are placed the furthest out.

10 points for red and blue
5 points for purple- 5 points for orange
Each color team (6 teams) has it’s own beanbag and may only throw and retrieve that beanbag.

Guidelines:

On the start signal one player from each team takes their beanbag to a spot and tries to throw it into the pail in center of gym. One foot may be on the spot and the the other foot must be behind the spot.
If the player makes it into the pail, they will pick up the poly spot and take it back to their team. If a player misses the pail, they just run and pick up the beanbag and return it to the next player on their team, then go to the end of the line.
Play continues until all of the spots are gone. Players may want to add up their points at the end of the game.
