When to do C,F,D?

• After children have developed a working
  understanding of space awareness concepts
• After children have mastered fundamental
  traveling skills

4
Definitions

• Chasing traveling quickly to overtake or tag a
  fleeing person
• Fleeing traveling quickly away from a pursuing
  person or object
• Dodging skill of quickly moving the body in a
  direction other than the original line of
  movement

5
Critical components of Chasing

• Person being chased is often moving too
• Person being chased often has a head start
• Chasing involves running at full speed
• Chasing involves reacting quickly to change in
  direction of the fleeing player

6
Critical components of Fleeing

• Might be fleeing from a person or an object
• Tries to keep as much distance as possible from
  the chaser
• When being closed in, must use maneuvers to avoid
  being tagged
• Can be direction or speed change

7
Critical components of Dodging

• Can occur while moving
• or stationary
• Involves quick fakes,
• twists, and stretches
• Can involve movement
• at various levels
• Can involve more than one
• dodge objective

8
Preliminary basics Can your children?

• Run fast from one location to another
• Travel around an area and change direction on a
  signal
• Perform designated dodging actions on a signal
• Run as fast as possible away from a partner on a
  signal

9
Precontrol level activities

• Move from one side of the room to the opposite
  lt1/2 children on each sidegt without touching
• Go at medium speed and then progress
• vary levels or travel method
• Traveling to dodge obstacles on the floor
• Make believe chase (e.g. the dog has got off its
  lead)

10
Control level activities

• Dodging in response to a signal
• Fleeing from a partner
• Dodging obstacles have some height to them
• Dodging with quick direction change

11
Key cues

• Fake step and go
• Split second quicker than lightning
• Change speed
• Change direction

12
Utilization level

• Multiple chasers and fleers
• Watching the hips
• work hard on this skill and get them to learn it
• might use flags
• Dodging while manipulating an object
• need to be at utilization of the object as well

13
Proficiency

• Dodging and chasing at the same time
• Relate to game/sport contexts
• What activities involve this?
• Replicate the movements

14
Game example

• Tries to keep as much distance as possible from
  the chaser

Your tasks

• Design three tag games.
• One with just one student and a partner
• Two with larger groups
• Design one game that specifically involves
  manipulating an object while dodging.
