Aim - To develop space awareness and Locomotion / Travelling skills
Name of the game: Bumper cars.
Any amount of players.
Expectations: travel in a variety of ways (e.g. run, walk, leap) in different
directions in response to signals (e.g. stop or go signals)
Equipment needed: Hula hoops and a gymnasium.
Game Instructions: I play this game with my Kindergarten and grade 1 class.
Explain what personal space is and how you use it.
Give each student a hula hoop and have them hold it at waist level. Explain
that this is there personal space car and they should not touch any other
student’s car. Give them word directions e.g.: stop & go, stand
up & sit down.
Have the students run from one end of the gym to the other. After, give them some directions while they are running, let them run freely around the gym. You can also make it an elimination game e.g.: the last one to stop or sit down has to sit out until there is only one. You can use different movements with the hula hoop like skipping or jumping and spinning.
