Drama-Fit sessions are designed to appeal to children who do not like conventional sports in PE but do enjoy games and fun.
Fitness sessions are fun and energetic and the drama element encourages children to ‘be’ creatures, enact scenes from stories or films or to emulate the movement of elements of nature, such as trees or clouds.
A fast moving game delivers exercise and fun, keeping children healthy and appealing to all children whether sporty or not. It also stops children who are not sports motivated from feeling as though they are failing.
For example, Hoop It. A very fast moving running game.
Lay out hoops on the ground some distance apart, make sure there are less than the number of children playing.
Choose a child or two to be the chasers.
The hoops are home and a child in a hoop cannot be tagged by the chaser/s. Only one child can stand in a hoop at any time.
If another child enters a hoop, the first child must leave it and race to enter another hoop without being tagged by a chaser.
If they are tagged between hoops, they take the place of the chaser.
To increase the difficulty, gradually remove hoops.
