Two teams face each other. Teacher calls a NUMBER and a COLOUR — those players sprint to grab the matching item and run back without being tagged!
The Bulldog calls a colour in English — students wearing that colour must cross the pitch without being tagged. Tagged players join the catcher. One safe-pass dialogue per player!
Distribute the cones around the room before the lesson. And then we start to run around like airplanes. After a short time we call a colour and everyone runs to find that colour. At first, we run alongside the children and touch the named cones. Then we give the children more independence. Once all children have found the colour, we change the way we move around the room (e.g.: cat, spiderman, grandparents, kangaroo, …) until we say another colour again. We repeat this process with different colours as often as needed.
Two teams race to find and retrieve the coloured cone called by the teacher in English. To score, the returning player must name the colour correctly!
Each student holds a coloured cone. Teacher calls a colour — that colour becomes the hunters! Hunters put down their cone and try to tag the others.
