Line Walking

Learning Outcomes

Description Of Activity

Hard or grass area with lines or markings, rhythm instrument(s). Children stand scattered along a line. Children walk on a line and change direction when they come to an intersection. When walking on a line they may meet up with someone coming towards them on the same line. If so, children walk on the spot and give their partner a high five, turn, and go back the way they came. Have different beats or rhythms to walk to.

Variations

Follow the leader: In pairs, one person (the leader) calls out commands, e.g. Quick march (step out), Mark time (march on the spot), About turn (turn 180 degrees). Leaders are switched on About turn.
