PRACTICAL CLASS.

In order to warm up we did a game call "PACMAN". Where one person had to catch others but following the lines which were painted in the floor of the gym. But no one could get out of the lines. 

Later, we continued with the Tag Games.

-Chusa: "Fruit basket game". The game starts with a choreography about fruit. 1.Move the hips to the right saying peach. 2. move the hips to the left saying apple. 3. Move of hips to the front saying melon. 4. Move the hips behind saying watermelon. Finally we say cocktail of fruits. Later, we divided the class in four groups: peach team, apple tam, melon team and watermelon team. Then the teacher said two teams and they had to run in order to catch people from the other team for having more members in the team. Finally, the teacher changed the movements when we had to catch someone. For example: with one leg.

                                  

                                      

-Blanca: My game. There are two teams the blue team and the red team. The blue team has a blue ball and the red team has a red ball. Moreover, each team has his own basket in the opposite side of the gym. So the members of the team have to pass the ball among them but they only can do 3 steps with the ball and later pass the ball to other member, in order to run more. Each team has to score in his basket with his ball but for example, the red team can take away the blue ball and try to mark in his basket. So a team can score with his own ball and with the ball of the other team.

 A team can take away the ball of the other team only when the ball is in the air. They can’t take away the ball when the ball is in the hands of someone. 

The game finish when a team score first in his own basket with his own ball or with the ball of the contrary team. 

           
OPINON

The game of pac-man is good because students move all the time. They have to pay attention to the person who catch and also to follow the lines. But, the person who catch moves more that the rest. It is a good thing that have more than one person catching the resto of the people.

Moreover, in my experience of conduct a TAG GAME. I think that it was difficult. Because you have to call the attention of all the people and you have to explain the game slowly. At the end of the explanation there were people who didn´t know how to play and it was frustrating. 

Later, when they played I saw that it was a descontrol because there were people who were fighting among them and people who were playing well. 

I have learn from this experience many things. First, you have to explain well the game and the times that are necessary. Second, students can play one time in order to know if they understand the rules. And after that you have to aks if they have questions. Finally, the game start.
