A super physical education warm up game your students will luuurve!

Number Of Players: Whole class
Equipment Required: Nil
Where To Play: Outdoors
Duration: 5 minutes
How To Play
Step One: Sort your students into pairs.
Step Two: On ‘Go’, each pair must chase each other’s shadow and try to stomp on it. Encourage your students to duck and weave to outmaneuver their partner.
Step Three: Students can count how many times they stomp on each other’s shadows but this isn’t really necessary as I find it tends to lead to disagreements and takes away from the fun. One thing is for sure though, at the end of Shadow Chase your students will be well and truly warmed up!
