Non-Elimination Tag: A Multidisciplinary Approach
Townsend, J. Scott; Mohr, Derek J.; Waronsky, Clint; Grana, Mario M.
Teaching Elementary Physical Education, v17 n1 p35-36 Jan 2006
The activity of tag may be one of the most widely played games in elementary physical education programs. It comes in many shapes and sizes and can be morphed to meet many needs. For example, tag is used as a general body warm-up for young children (Rosengard, Mckenzie, & Short, 2000), to teach chasing, dodging, and fleeing skills (Graham, Holt/Hale & Parker, 2004), and to even improve aerobic fitness levels (NASPE, 2005). The versatility of tag also provides opportunities for the integration of multidisciplinary concepts within physical education. Donnelly (2002) states, "reinforcing classroom concepts in physical education is an exciting way to make the world come alive for students." The authors agree and believe that tag games can serve as a platform for meeting the needs of physical education while simultaneously reinforcing classroom concepts. This article suggests a few tag games that integrate classroom concepts.
