Human Tic-Tac-Toe-Indoor

A group strategy game.

• Set Up

  • Set up 9 chairs like a Tic-Tac-Toe Board

  • Organize two teams of 4-5 players

• Equipment

  • Chairs

• Objective

  To have their team win tic-tac-toe by getting three people in a row.

• Directions

  1. Split the group into 2 teams- Team X and Team 0

  2. Everyone gets a number

  3. Coach calls out a number and the player on Team X and Player on Team 0 have to run to a seat and sit down making an X or 0 above their head.

  4. Whoever sits down with their symbol first gets to stay in their chair.

  5. Continue by calling another number.

  6. Whichever team gets 3 in a row first wins!

• Variations

  • Have players run around the chairs 1st

  • Make players move where they are in the line so it's harder to remember their number

• Coaching Points

  • Demonstrate how to safely run to the chairs

  • Be clear that the player needs to be seating AND have their symbol up above their head to be counted as 1st to the chair

  • Have the players watch the example video if possible

Reflection: Self-Awareness and Social Awareness

1. How did it feel when it was your turn to go?

2. What did your team do to support you? What would you want them to do or say to encourage you?

3. What are other times in school  or at home where encouragement would help you?
