1. Two students are chosen to be Dementors and one

student is chosen to be the Wizard/Witch.
2. Demonstrate the proper way to tag (in-between the
shoulders and the waist).

be able to tag anyone but the Wizard/Witch with the
wand (pool noodle). Once a Dementor tags you you
have to stop in place and place your broom down, do
jumping jacks until the wizard with the wand comes to
save you. The only way to get back in the game is to
be tagged by the Witch/Wizard with the wand (pool
noodle).
4. All other participates will be doing locomotor
movements in open space that are determined by the
teacher, and try to avoid being tagged by the
Dementors.

and touch base (where the bean bags are located) and
then they can get back in the game and continue
playing.
