Presentation of New Material/Directions:

Get Rid of the Mice is all about getting as many
Minutes
of your mice out of your kitchen as possible and
into the kitchen of the other team. The mice are
the bean bags, and the kitchen is the hula-hoop.
Each team has a safe side (at the half court line)
and out of bounds lines (the white lines). When
you are on your side, you are safe, if you are on
the other side you can be tagged. You can move
a beanbag from your kitchen to the other kitchen
by taking it from your hula hoop and running it to
the other side and placing it in the other teams
 hula hoop. You may only carry one mouse at a
time.
If you get tagged on the other teams side, then
you must take your mouse back to your own hula
hoop. Once the mouse is back in the hula hoop,
you may continue to play.
When you are on the other teams side, you may
throw your beanie bag into the other teams hula
hoop, but if it lands outside the other teams
hoop, you must run after it without getting tagged.
If you make it to the hoop and put your mouse in
the other teams kitchen, then you must walk
back to your side.
There is no jail in this form of capture the flag,
and the only consequence of being tagged is that
you must return your beanbag to your own side.
So, do not be afraid to run to the other side.
You have 5 minutes to get as many of your
beanie bags into the other teams hula hoop and
to stop the other team from putting their beanies
into your hula hoop. When I call time, we will
count the amount of mice in each kitchen, and
the team with the least number of mice wins.

Safety:
Make sure to run with your head up so you can
watch where youre going.
Do not shove people when you tag them, a light
tap is good enough.
There will be no guarding the hula hoops you
must be at least 2 feet away from the hoop if you
are not chasing someone.
Do not throw your beanie bag at anyone

Check for understanding:

how many mice can you carry at once?
what happens if you get tagged?
Transition: We are going to split off into teams, count 2 hula hoops
60 off by two. 16 beanbags
Seconds
With your team, go to your side and you have 30
seconds to strategize.
Activity: Gym setting, on a full-size basketball court.

Minutes
 Possible Modifications:
_____ Make it harder: if you get tagged, you must hold onto
Minutes
your beanie bag, freeze where you were tagged, and
wait for a teammate to unfreeze you. Once un frozen,
you both must walk back to your own side.
Make it easier: put the hula hoop in the middle of the
side it is on instead of at the back of the court.
