Learning Activity #2

Dead Ant Tag

Teacher will explain the rules of the game to students
Teacher will explain, One person is it. This person has to chase
the others. When he tags someone, that person must lay down with
both hands and feet sticking straight up like a dead ant. In order for
the dead ant to come alive, four people must tag one limb each.

10 minutes

Once someone has been a dead ant three times (this is on the honor
system), they are now "it". It's always possible to have multiple
people being "it" and makes it crazier when you don't know whom
to run from!
