Cups and Saucers

Learning Outcomes

To improve Agility, Balance, Coordination.

Description Of Activity

Split the group into two teams (depending on numbers). Have each group stand at either end of the hall. In middle of the hall, spread out cones, some sitting the correct way to make saucers, and others upside down to make cups. When the leader shouts GO the children must run into the centre of the hall. One team will be turning the cups into saucers, and the other team will be turning saucers into cups. Give the group 20 seconds or so to see how many cones they were able to turn. The team who turn the most cones win.

Notes: 

Why not give children a challenge. I.e they can only turn over a certain colour or decrease the time allocated to turn over cones. Have more than one game going at once - split the hall in half. To clear up the cones when the game is complete, introduce a mini competition to see who can collect the most cones. 

Coaching Tips

Encourage children to stay on their feet . Ensure children move around and don’t not stay in one area turning over the same cones.
