• Set Up

  • Set up a designated playing area using cones

  • Split players into 2 teams and have them come up with a team name

  • Give every player on 1 team a pinny and instruct them to tuck it into their back pocket or the back of the waistband on their pants.

• Equipment

  • Disc cones

  • Pinnies

• Objective

  To steal the pinny from the fox or to not let the fox steal your pinny.

• Directions

  1. On "Go," players without a pinny try to steal one from the other team. They cannot touch/tag the player, they can only grab the pinny.

  2. If they successfully grab a pinny, they have 5 seconds to tuck it into their own waistband.

  3. Now the players from the other team can attempt to steal it back.

  4. At the end of time, see which team has the most pinnies.

  ** Watch to make sure that the other team/players aren't trying to steal a pinny back right away -- give a player 5 seconds to tuck in their pinny!

• Variations

  • Have Captains help count for players whose pinny is stolen

  • Have students play Rock, Paper, Scissors in order to steal the pinny if they become too aggressive

• Coaching Points

  • Encourage team communication

  • Remind players they can not hold on to their pinny or stuff it into a pocket, it should be tucked into a waistband and hang down.

  • Remind players to count to 5 to give time for ppl to put tails into their waistbands.

Week 5, Day 2

Reflection: Responsible Decision-Making

We are continuing to focus on making responsible decisions. Today you had to make the decision to wait 5 seconds after a player stole your pinny before trying to tag them.

1. Who was able to wait 5 seconds? Raise your hand. How did you help yourself wait?

2. Why do you think that was important for the game? For the team?

Week 7, Day 1

Reflection: Self-Management

Give feedback to your captain on how they did running this game.

Were the Captain’s directions clear? Did they support you? How?

1. This week we are talking about Self-Management, how can we make goals for ourselves? What is a goal?

2. Why are goals important?

3. When we make goals we want them to be clear and possible. Listen to the goals and choose one for this week:

Optional goals:

Shout out 1 player every game, Stay positive even if I get frustrated, Volunteer/try something new. (choose your own)
