Lesson Outline:
Rules/Instructions Equipment:

How the game is played:

 Students are in teams of 5-6
 Each team stands in a line with each student standing in a hoop
(hoops will be touching)
 The goal of the game is to collect as many objects off the ground by
moving your caterpillar forward
 To move forward, the last player in line steps into the player’s hoop
in front of them picks up their empty hoop, and passes it to the front
 The front player then places the hoop on the ground and steps into it.
Every player then shifts forward, and the caterpillar has moved
 Only the front player can pick up objects, but it’s the team’s job to
carry the collected objects throughout the game
 The game ends when there are no more objects to collect

Build up: Caterpillar races

  Get the teams on the baseline and have them race before the actual
game
 After the build up the Caterpillar Riot can begin

Closure:

A. What systems did you set up to move your caterpillar
effectively?
B. What were some obstacles you faced as a team?
C. How did you all overcome those obstacles?

Safety Guidelines  Students should pass the hoops forward properly (without throwing
them)
