St. Patrick's Movement Game

Find a clear space around you. Move carefully, keep a safe distance from others, and freeze when you hear the signal. Try each challenge, then answer the questions. You can choose smaller or slower movements whenever you need to.

Try the Trail

Complete each challenge in order. After each one, return to your own safe space and freeze like a statue.

1.Challenge 1 — Pot-of-gold jumps: Do 3 small two-foot jumps on the spot. Land softly. What should your knees do when you land?

Bend softly
Lock straight
Point out behind you

2.Challenge 2 — Parade march: March on the spot for 8 counts, lifting your knees and swinging your arms gently. True or false: marching on the spot means you stay in your own space.

TrueFalse

3.Challenge 3 — Rainbow balance: Stand on one foot and count slowly to 3. Name one thing that can help you keep your balance.

4.Challenge 4 — Fairy tiptoes: Take 5 quiet tiptoe steps in a small space, then freeze. Which movement skill did you practise most?

Moving lightly and with control
Throwing
Kicking

5.The music stops—or your leader calls “freeze!” You are halfway through a movement. What should you do next to stay safe?

6.A friend is close by when you are asked to turn slowly like a rainbow. What is the safest choice?

Make a smaller turn and leave space
Spin quickly with your arms wide
Move closer to your friend

7.Make a short movement sequence: march for 4 counts, stand on one foot for 3 counts, then do 2 small jumps. Which movement in your sequence practises balance?

8.Invent a safe St. Patrick’s movement. Give it a name and describe how to do it in your own space.

9.After trying the trail, choose one movement skill you would like to practise again: jumping, marching, balancing, or tiptoeing. Why did you choose it?
