Four players stand at the four corners of a square field, while the one who’s “it” remains at the centre.

The game ends when someone becomes “it” five times

THE FOUR CORNERS

STEAL THE FLAG

NUMBER OF PLAYERS  METHOD  SKILLS

The whole class The class is divided into equal groups.

The students in both groups are numbered from one to however many students are present in each group( this can also be done in secret).

The game conductor positions himself in the centre of the court holding the flag.

The game conductor calls out a number, and the two players whose number it corresponds to (from the opposing teams),run to the flag.

To gain a point for their team, the players must take the flag past their team’s line.

If the opposing player touches the player with the flag, the former’s team gains the point.

If a player goes beyond the court’s central line before the opposing player captures the flag, he commits an “invasion” and the point goes to the opposing team.

The team to reach the previously agreed number of points, wins.

 Pupil can:

·  Collaborates with the classmates

· Confronts with them in a competition

· Perceives the value of loyalty .

·  Accepts the failure

· Understand and explain an old game.

Groups of 2 to 6 players Players draw on the ground a cross divided into square; they need a small item to throw, and they make a draw to decided the first person to throw. The first player throws the item in the square marked with the lowest number, and goes on in progressive order. He jumps in single squares only on one foot, in double one with both feet. When he passes by the square the item fell on, he has to bend to pick the item up (on one foot in single squares). If the item is thrown on the border line, beyond it, if the players forget to pick it up or puts his other foot down while doing so, he loses his turn. The winner completes each square of the “living room”.
