What Time is it Gymnastic Wolf

You will need: no equipment

• The children are pigs from the story 'The Three Little Pigs' and stand at one side of the room (the safe zone).
• The teacher stands on the opposite side and plays the role of 'The Gymnastic Wolf'. The teacher chooses how the students should move before beginning e.g. skipping, hopping etc.
• The pigs call out “What time is it, Gymnastic Wolf?” with gymnastic Wolf responding by saying an hour (e.g. “4 O’clock”) - Pigs move forward 4 number of skips/hops etc.
• This continues until Gymnastic Wolf responds with “DinnerTime” where the pigs run back to the safe zone before getting tagged by Gymnastic Wolf.
• If a pig is tagged, they join Gymnastic Wolf.
• Play continues until all the pigs have been changed into Wolves.

In the Swamp

You will need: hula hoops

• Pair students up with one hoop placed on the ground between each pair.
• Students take turns to jump into and should remember to keep their head up with a big smile and their arms reaching out in front of them.
• For each round the student and their partner tries to jump in and out of the hoop 5 times before swapping over.
• Each time a student completes a 'good' jump into the hoop their partner can increase the height of the hula hoop slightly, by holding it at the side.
