Game of the month

Flies and Lizards

How can you encourage children to run shuttle runs, time and time again, without complaining? Play FLIES AND LIZARDS!!!

Children line up at one end of a room and become flies, whose job is to fly to the opposite end of the room. A hungry Lizard tries to catch flies for their lunch by throwing small soft balls at the fly’s legs. If a fly is hit by a ball, they come out of the game and become a Lizard and help catch the remaining flies!

Activ Tip: Watch where you’re running so you can jump or dodge out of the way of the balls, and avoid bumping into other flies!
