Minnows in the Net
To start, all but two players are minnows (a little fi sh found
in shallow water). Minnows are going to try to swim
through the “net.” The “net zone” will be an area between
two tactile lines in the middle of the gym.
in shallow water). Minnows are going to try to swim
through the “net.” The “net zone” will be an area between
two tactile lines in the middle of the gym.
Pick two players to be the “net” inside the net zone. The
“net” wears the sound source or places it on the fl oor at
their feet. The minnows will line up against one wall of the
gym and try to reach the other side of the gym performing
a designated locomotor movement (see animal walks listed
previously). A different sound source should be placed at
the gym wall. The players that are the net will try to tag
the minnows when they are within the net zone of the gym.
If a minnow gets tagged by the net, she becomes part of the
net too.

To make sure the main focus of the game remains dodging,
any player who is part of the net cannot move, pretending
that both feet are stuck in the mud. The players who are part
of the “net” can only tag the minnows by stretching out
their arms. The minnows who are unsuccessful at dodging
the net will get caught. Players playing the role of the “net”
can wear a portable sound source around their waists or be
required to sing a song.

Stress safety rules; minnows can only be tagged from the
shoulders to the waist. If a player gets tagged anywhere else,
then she automatically makes it through the net safely that
shoulders to the waist. If a player gets tagged anywhere else,
then she automatically makes it through the net safely that
round. When everyone becomes part of the net, the teacher
can restart the game changing the locomotor movement.

Mother May I (A.K.A. Captain May I )
One person (it could be the teacher or another player)
is chosen to be Mother or Captain. She stands facing
away from a line of players. She then chooses a player
(at random, or in order), and announces a direction. The
directions follow a pattern, such as, “Jamie, you may take ‘x’
giant/regular/baby steps forward/backward.” The student
responds with “Mother/Captain may I?” Mother then states
“Yes” or “No,” depending on her whim, and the player
complies. If the player forgets to ask, “Mother may I?” he
goes back to the starting line. First player to touch Mother
wins. If additional sound (other than Mother’s voice) is
needed, Mother can have a portable sound source at her
feet for orientation. All players can wear blindfolds.
