Introduction
Children will learn how to use their bodies in various physical exercises.
Activity 1:
Rock, Paper, Scissor, Chase Warm Up
15 mins
Method:
Set up 3 straight lines of cones - a middle line where the games of rock, paper, scissors will take place and then a line on each side of it approximately 5m away from the centre line, this is for players to run to.
Pair up your group and get them to stand opposite one another on the middle line. Each player should have a bib which they tuck into the back of their shorts as a tag.
They should then play a game of Rock, Paper, Scissors.
The losing player has to turn and run to the line behind them
The winning player has to chase the losing player and try to tag them before they cross the line.
If the player makes it over the line before being tagged, they earn a point. If they are tagged, the player that makes the tag gets the point.
Repeat for as long as desired. Change opponents for a more social aspect to the game

Activity 2:
20 mins
Method:
- Set up with a hoop for each team and a ball in the hoop
- The hoops can be placed in the corners of the room - You want to have no more than 5 per team, less is better.
- Each team should also have a bib to use as a relay baton - it helps you and them determine who's turn it is.
- When the game starts - by coaches whistle - the first player in each team - holding the bib - can run and retrieve a ball from any of the other teams. The method of how they bring the ball back and the type of ball you use will be determined by the sport you are warming up for - Football: use footballs and dribble back with feet, Basketball: bounce a basketball back, Tennis: you could use a racket to balance a tennis ball back etc
- When the player gets back to their teams hoop, place the ball in and then hand the bib to the next player who does the same.
- If the game is going on for a long time, you can add in extra balls to try and speed the game up, just pop them down in the middle of the area when you like
- When a team has 3 balls in their hoop, they should all shout 'FULL HOUSE'.
Teaching Points:
- Awareness: look for which teams have 2 balls in their hoops and steal from them!
- Use the relevant skill from the sport you are working on to get the ball from A to B under control!
