One team are the Grinches, one team are the elves
The object of the game if you are a Grinch is to never have any
presents in Santas bag
The object of the game if you are an Elf is to make sure Santas bag has
the presents
Hula Hoop/empty gym bags will be scattered around the gym floor
with the initial bean bags placed inside
Students will have various number of rounds to play
Each round will be a different locomotor movement throughout the
gym
On the Whistle or GO! signal every student will move throughout
the gym performing their indicated job and work for their team
Students cannot guard hula hoops/gym bags, they must continue to
move to either 1.-PLACE BEAN BAGS BACK INTO THE DESIGNATED
BAG OR 2.-TAKE THE BEAN BAG OUT AND PLACE IT NEXT TO THE
DESIGNATED BAG.
At the end of each round we will count to see which team won
Elves want majority of the bean bags in Santas Bag and Grinches
want all of the bean bags outside
