HOOP GAMES (Dani Calatayud)

On April 13 we met only 4 students and our teacher Didac. Maria Jose started the session, with the game tic-tac-toe, but running, and therefore, with this change, the game was more fun. In order to play we spread out in the ground a square made with 9 rings and then, when the teacher said go, we had to run one and one at the same time to form the correct lines with our blue or red bags. After, It was my turn, and we did a game called the four showers. To play we needed groups of 5 students and 5 hoops. Four hoops formed a square and the last one was in the middle. Each student should get in a hoop and when the teacher said, swap, they got into a free  hoop and who had the hoop in the middle was the loser and then, he had to say: have a shower, then the others had to simulate as they were  showering and told to the pupil in the middle: you smell bad, and he had to simulate that he was dirty and smelly. Inma developed the next game. It was called the way of hoops. It was a race with hoops in which we had to pass a hoop in a row, sit down and get up every time, and the last had to run to be the first one.

Playing Hoop Way

Marcos explained  us a game in which we had to jump a rope tied to a ring that had rolled a student located in the middle, while others, in a circle, should jump it. When the rope or hoop took you, you had to go to the middle in order to roll the rope again. Finally, our teacher Didac explained us a chasing game played in big group and in a wide zone, like the basketball court. Three or four students were the catchers while the others run away. We spread out 5 hoops on the ground. In order to be saved, escapers could jump in the hoops. A student could stay in the hoop until another escaper said to him “Get away!”. Then the student inside the hoop had to leave the hoop and run away. The game finished when all students were caught.

See you next Wednesday.

BALL GAMES (David Moncho)

Hello everybody,

March 9th we develop our third seminar session. While people was thinking about “Falles”, we were thinking in PE classes. The topic was “Ball games” so every one of us develop a game using different type of balls –small, tennis, large, basketball…-

Dani started playing a game called "Throw through the line". We divided the place in two and every team set on its part. Then, we had to throw the ball at each other. It was a lot of fun to start today's class game. By the way, my team was the winner! After this first game, it started to rain so we continue playing inside the building, in an indoor PE class. Inma with their game called "Throw and lay down" showed us their good level of English and her great teaching skills -she is a kindergarten school teacher-. He made a beautiful children warm up, using many songs I didn't know.

My game was called "Bouncing balls". Every body had to move bouncing a ball with right/left hand. Then, you had to try toannoy your partner in order to push his or her ball out of the place. The games' aims were to improve both, bouncing and coordination. After me, was Fernando's turn. His game was "Warriors Invasion". We were divided into two teams, which had to throw the ball game. We had to try to send the ball to the opposing team. My team lost because Didac's team cheated! Carmen's game was called "Hunting ball". It was a very fast and funny game. We had to pass the ball each other. When you had the ball, though, you couldn't move. At a certain moment, Carmen called out one of our names and we had to try to touch it with the ball. It was very fun but also difficult.

Enjoy holidays! See you on April 6!
