Steal+the+Bean+Bag


 * **Name of Activity:** **Steal the Bean Bags** ||

**Suggested Grade Level:** 2 - 3 **Materials Needed:** 1 Poly spot and bean bag or yarn ball per student. Music. **__Description of Idea__** Spread the spots out as much as possible. Each student has a "home" spot and the bean bag is sitting on their spot. When the music begins, students move as directed by teacher (eg. walk, skip, hop, etc.--no running makes this a safer activity) attempt to take a classmates bean bag and place it on their home spot. Only 1 bean bag at a time can be taken at a time. The activity continues until the music stops. How many bean bags does every one have? No throwing the bean bags or protecting their own bean bag/s.
 * Important Safety Practice:** Make sure to teach the students to look up when taking a bean bag so they do not bump heads with another student! Practice and demonstrate this before playing.

**Variations:** Use a variety of locomotor skills such as galloping, leaping, bear or crab walking, skipping, etc. Change it with each round. **Teaching Suggestions:** Make sure to teach the students to look up when taking a bean bag so they do not bump heads with another student! Practice and demonstrate this before playing.
