Explanation: Students jog/walk around the area marked with cones whilst music is playing. The teacher randomly turns the music off, at
which point, students run to the centre of a hoop. Only one student is permitted to claim a hoop whilst others who were unsuccessful put
on a sash from the pile to indicate that they are out. One hoop is then removed and all students continue playing. Students with sashes
continue playing in order to prevent students without from claiming hoops. The last student without a sash wins.
Teaching cues: When and where possible, prompt students with questions to engage them in critical and high order thinking, for example:
-How are the sashes going to prevent the non-sashes from claiming hoops?
-How are the students who are still in going to claim a hoop before others? Where do they hope to be when the music stops?
Warm-Up Game: Teacher Says Early Stage 1, Kindergarten
Set Up/Equipment/Explanation: This game is a variation of Simon says and will be used as a fun pedagogical alternative to traditional
warm-up stretches.
Essentially, the teacher will give commands to the students randomly as follows;
Teacher says:
-Walk/Jog/Run/Sprint on the spot
-Do 10 star jumps
-Find a partner and skip around whilst holding hands
-Hop on the spot with one leg
-Balance with only left or right leg and stretch (stretches thigh muscles)
-Stretch as high as possible (stretches upper body)
-Stretch as high as possible on your tippy toes (stretches hamstring calf and thigh muscles)
-Sit on the floor and touch your toes (stretches hamstring, calf and thigh muscles)
-Very rarely, depending on how well ES1 correctly listens and implements commands, the teacher could do the wrong command to fool
students. The students who got the command wrong could do a lap around a small marked area.
-It is important to incorporate a mixture of cardio-vascular stimulating commands and stretches so as not to wear out students for the
main body of a lesson. However, a five minute warm-up with only the stretches as commands leading to a ten minute game could be an
alternative method.
Teaching cues:
-The teacher should use the correct terminology for muscles when stretching so as students learn the correct name.
-Use enthusiasm and encouragement to engage students.
-The teacher could also incorporate music into the game.
Warm-Up Game: Rain Dishes Stage 1, Year 1
Set Up/Equipment: Instruct students in setting up the following:
-35-40 rounded markers scattered about a field, court or large indoor area, half upright and half the opposite
-Divide students into two teams, rain catchers and non-rain catchers (do not use team captains)
-Use sashes for one team
-Make the students imagine it is raining to enforce the concept of turning the markers upright to catch the rain and vice versa
Explanation: On the teacher’s whistle, students cooperate with their respective team mates in turning the rounded markers either
upright or upside down. At any time the teacher may blow their whistle and introduce rules such as, holding a team mates hand or hopping
on left/right foot whilst playing the game. If one team is losing by far or bunching together too much, prompt questioning on team
communication and spreading out.
Teaching cues: When and where possible, prompt students with questions to engage them in critical and high order thinking, for example:
-If one team is winning significantly, how is the losing team going to recover?
-Are teams communicating? If not ask them how this could help.
-Encourage students to spread out rather than bunching and going for the same rounded markers.
Warm-Up Game: Bean Bag Mix Up Stage 1, Year 2
Set Up/Equipment: Instruct students in setting up the following:
-16 hoops (4 red, 4 blue, 4 green and 4 yellow if possible, otherwise improvise) scattered about a field, court or large indoor area
-20+ bean bags which colours correspond to the hoops and put into a pile
-Divide students into two teams, the ‘goodies’ and the ‘smugglers’ (do not use team captains)
-Use sashes for one team
Explanation: On the teacher’s whistle, students cooperate with their respective team mates to either put the bean bags in their
corresponding coloured hoops (goodies) or to put them in the wrong hoops (smugglers). Bean bags are permitted to be taken from hoops at
any given time and rearranged according to the student’s goal until the teacher blows their whistle for time up. Bean bags are not to be
thrown. The teacher may also alternate rules at any time, for example, only hopping on left/right foot or skipping allowed.
Teaching cues: When and where possible, prompt students with questions to engage them in critical and high order thinking, for example:
-How are the goodies going to sort faster? Will this involve communication?
-Will each goodie allocate a colour to themself and only sort that colour in order to promote the sorting speed within the game?
-Encourage team communication throughout the game.
-If the game is too one sided put a few more students on the goodies team. Make sure all students have had a go at being on both teams.
Warm-Up Game: Pac-Man Stage 2, Year 3
Set Up/Equipment: Instruct students in setting up the following:
-This game requires netball, basketball or volleyball court lines or even any patterns elsewhere that could be improvised. If this is not
available, instruct students with chalk to draw various lines over a large paved area
-3 soft balls, or the like
-2 Red sashes, and a pile of other colours, select two students at random to be ‘ghosts’ and wear a red sash each
Explanation: Students are only permitted to run on marked lines and may jump to alternate lines when necessary. The ‘ghosts’ must chase
the ‘Pac-Men’ around these marked lines. Once a Pac-Man is tagged they too become a ghost and must put on a sash helping in tagging the
remainder of the class. The soft balls may only be used by Pac-Men to throw at ghosts, which, once hit, do a lap around the court etc.,
drop their sash and are Pac-Men once again. The two ghosts that were originally chosen cannot be changed to Pac-Men and must wear an
alternate coloured sash (red) to indicate this.
Teaching cues: When and where possible, prompt students with questions to engage them in critical and high order thinking, for example:
-If there are quite a few ghosts, what will the Pac-Men do? And vice a versa.
-Encourage students that communication is vital.
-If necessary, the teacher can introduce more balls into the game or more permanent ghosts.
Warm-Up Game: Four-Sided Bull Rush Stage 2, Year 4
Set Up/Equipment: Instruct students in setting up the following:
-A court, field or large inside area with a fairly large marked squared area. If this is not possible, use lines, cones or rounded markers to
form this area
-Enough Velcro belts with 2 oztags per student
-Randomly select one student to be a tagger
-Divide the remaining students into groups of 6-8, each group starts at a different side; North, South, East and West (do not use team
captains)
Explanation: Essentially, on the teacher’s whistle students must run toward their opposite side, for example, the North group must get to
the South side and vice versa. The tagger(s) must strip two tags off a student in order for them to also become a tagger, however, if one
tag is pulled off, the student does not become a tagger until the other is also stripped from them. Strategy is complex for both the
taggers and ‘bulls’ as there are four sides to take into account.
Teaching cues: When and where possible, prompt students with questions to engage them in critical and high order thinking, for example:
-What strategies will the bulls and taggers adopt in the beginning, middle and nearing the end of the game?
-Encourage students to communicate with their respective team mates. Have at least one huddle during the game.
-Encourage bulls and taggers to spread out rather than bunching together.
Warm-Up Game: Bombardment Stage 3, Year 5
Set Up/Equipment: Instruct students in setting up the following:
-Rounded markers for a field, court or large indoor area to outline a large space
-A variety of 6 Soft throw-able equipment such as, balls, large balls, frisbees and vortexes
-Select six students at random to be bombardment throwers
Explanation: Bombardment involves six throwers that must stand on a line throwing their balls etc. in order to hit the students in the
centre (similar to dodge ball). If a target is missed, the ball is only to be re-collected by the thrower who must, in addition, do a small lap
around the centre area before returning to the throwing line.
Teaching cues: When and where possible, prompt students with questions to engage them in critical and high order thinking, for example:
-What strategies will the throwers adopt? Will they aim for students bunching together to have a greater chance of hitting someone?
-What strategies will the students in the middle adopt?
-encourage students to communicate and participate in team work.
Warm-Up Game: Islands, Pirates and Sharks Stage 3, Year 6
Set Up/Equipment: Instruct students in setting up the following:
-12 hoops (4 red, 4 blue and 4 yellow if possible, otherwise improvise) scattered about a field or court to create coloured islands
-Select two students at random to be sharks
-The remainder of the class are pirates
-Enough Velcro belts with 2 oztags per pirate
Explanation: The teacher begins by calling out the colour red, blue or yellow and then blowing their whistle. The pirates must manoeuvre
themselves away from the sharks and onto the corresponding coloured island. Any amount of pirates may occupy an island as long as all
students fit inside the hoop. If a shark strips two oztags from a pirate’s belt, the pirate becomes a shark. The game repeats until there is
a winner.
Teaching cues: When and where possible, prompt students with questions to engage them in critical and high order thinking, for example:
-How will the sharks work together to tag the pirates?
-Where are the pirates going to run? Will there be a decoy?
-The teacher should allow intervals for pirates and sharks to collaborate within their teams in order to produce meaningful group
strategies and tactics.
Invasion Game: Big Ball Strike Stage 2, year 3
Set Up/Equipment: Instruct students in setting up the following:
-Half a field
-1 or 2 giant soft balls (depending on resources available)
-Rounded markers or cones to establish 2 goals on either side of the half-field
-Enough sashes for 2 teams
-Divide the class into 2 teams (do not use team captains)
Explanation: The game begins with two (depending on resources available) giant soft balls in the middle of the field. Students are
permitted to manoeuvre and pass the balls in any way, for example, kicking or rolling. In order to score, a team must strike a ball into the
opposing team’s goals. Both attacking and defending is crucial within this game due to the two balls.
Teaching cues: It is crucial to find 2-3 opportunities where group huddles would be necessary in order for students to negotiate
strategies.
-Encourage students to find open space and not bunch.
-Encourage students that some of the team should be attacking whilst others defending.
-Question students when in group huddles such as, If your team has both balls what will you do with that advantage?
Invasion Game: Soccer Square Stage 2, year 4
Set Up/Equipment: Instruct students in setting up the following:
-A field with lines (or cones and rounded markers) to create a very large square
-4 cricket wickets, bins, marked goals or the like to establish a goal in the North, South, East and West of the square
-Enough coloured sashes for 4 teams
-Divide students into 4 teams of 6-8 in each (do not use team captains)
-2 soccer balls
Explanation: The game begins with two soccer balls in the middle of the square. Each team can go for either or both balls and are
challenged to hit any team’s wickets except for their own in order to score. Teams must alternate between both attacking and defending.
There should not be any one goalie, the idea is for everyone to participate in preventing the ball from getting anywhere near their goal in
the first place.
Teaching cues: It is crucial to find 2-3 opportunities where group huddles would be necessary in order for students to negotiate
strategies.
-Encourage students to find open space and not bunch.
-Encourage students that some of the team should be attacking whilst others defending.
-If the game becomes too hectic or confusing the teacher should remove a ball.
Invasion Game: Rob The Nest Stage 3, Year 5
Set Up/Equipment: Instruct students in setting up the following:
-2 hoops, one at each end of a field
-6 footballs, three stationary in each hoop
-Divide students into two teams (do not use team captains)
-Enough Velcro belts with 2 oztags per student
Explanation: Essentially, teams must manoeuvre themselves into enemy territory whereby stealing one football per student from the nest.
If a student has both oztags stripped from them, with or without the football, they must return to their side of the field before
beginning again and drop the football. Students must run with the football back to their nest with both oztags intact in order to score.
Students are permitted to throw the football to one another. The team with the most footballs in their nest at set intervals score a point.
Therefore, if a defender intercepts a football or strips the attacker’s oztags, their goal is to take the football back to their teams nest.
The idea is for both teams to attack and defend simultaneously. Tactics and strategy are paramount in order to win.
Teaching cues: It is crucial to find 2-3 opportunities where group huddles would be necessary in order for students to negotiate
strategies.
-Encourage students to find open space and not bunch.
-Encourage students that some of the team should be attacking whilst others defending.
Invasion Game: Wicket Bounce Ball Stage 3, Year 6
Set Up/Equipment: Instruct students in setting up the following:
-A court
-2 cricket wickets, one at either end of the court
-2 basketballs
-Enough sashes for 2 teams
-Divide the class into two teams (do not use team captains)
Explanation: Both teams start with a basketball and on the teacher’s whistle can only bounce the ball to dribble, pass and score. In order
to score the basketball must be bounced at the opposing teams wickets. No throwing is permitted at any time. A team that has possession
of both balls would inevitably have an advantage and should use this strategically. The ball can be intercepted by the defending team.
There is not to be any one goalie the idea is for everyone to be attacking or defending.
Teaching cues: It is crucial to find 2-3 opportunities where group huddles would be necessary in order for students to negotiate
strategies.
-Encourage students to find open space and not bunch.
-Encourage students that some of the team should be attacking whilst others defending.

him. Debbie and Julie were unsure and hesitant about it. Jessica said
that she wouldn’t be their friends anymore if they didn’t. Finally,
Debbie and Julie joined in. The next hour was spent creating a hate
list about a boy named Richard in their class and emailing it to other
girls. One girl posted a Facebook status of the hate list for everyone
to see. Another girl printed the list out and brought it into school on
Monday to show more girls in the class. Richard saw the list and was so
upset that when he went home and told his mum and dad that he
wanted to move schools but would not tell them why.
-After the groups have read their allocated scenario they are to
discuss and answer the following questions in their group:
• Who was the bully? Who was being bullied (the victim)? Who were
the bystanders?
• List the ways that the victim was bullied.
• What could the bystanders have done?
• Who could the bystanders have told?
• If no adults were around, what could the bystanders and victim
have done?
• What should the victim have done (hint: apply STOP)
• How do you feel reading this? How would you have felt if you were
the victim?
• If you see bullying happening what will you do? (Remember that
when standing up for yourself and others you should not resort to
bullying!)
