1 Jumping lines

· Tell pupils to stay away from hard objects to prevent accidents.
· Blow whistle and stop activity.
· Change the pupil’s roles. 2 will follow 1 wherever 1 goes.
· Variation for different levels-Say “move” for lower primary pupils
and “jog slowly” for upper primary pupils. Lower primary pupils may
run or jog even if you tell them to “move” so avoid telling lower
primary pupils to “run as fast as you can”
3 Follow the leader (for classes who have been trained to form up in groups
of 4, 5 or more pupils in a group).
· First boy of every group will be the leader.
· The rest will follow the leader wherever the leader goes.
· At the command “change”, the leader will move to the back of the
row. The second boy will now become the leader.
· This activity can go on for as long as the teacher desires (can be
used as a main activity by prolonging the duration)
· The area which the pupils run about will depend on the size of
available facilities in the school.
· Remind boys to stay away from hard objects. E.g pillars, walls,
fences
4 Touch and come back.
· Locate distinctive and safe targets e.g lines on the ground, shapes
and colours on the floor, fence.
· Say “watch out for one another when you move around”
· Say “touch the blue rectangle/ white line and come back here”
· Begin with targets that are nearer to the teacher first. Then,
progressively go on to targets further away.
· Please vary the distance and intensity(walk or slow jog for lower
primary)
