Today was a skeleton-packed day of P.E.! We started out with our warm up as usual then moved into skeleton tag. In this game, students are told the “safety bone” and are required to show and tell where it is in order to be safe from the tagger. If they can not correctly identify what and where the bone is, they have to walk like a skeleton to the “bone yard” and wait to be saved by another skeleton.
After that, they played skeleton search, a game where color groups have to find 16 skeleton pieces that match their color. When they find all of the pieces (16 out of 80 bones!!!!), they can start putting their skeleton together. Groups are not done until the bones are “attached” properly and on the correct side of the body.
Our last activity was called Build-a-Bone Relay. Color groups have 6 activities to do before their bones are complete. One by one, students ran to their color group box and had to do the following:
- Place a piece of paper on the floor
- Flip all of the bones right side up on the paper
- Color each bone a different color
- Arrange the bones in the correct place
- Fix the bone order if needed
- Glue the bones together
After all of the bone pieces were assembled, the class watched in excitement as I glued the entire skeleton together to make him come ALIVE!! Next week, students will participate in Skeleton Stations including more volleybones activities, decorating a Halloween costume for their skeleton and giving them names!
