Back Pocket Game: As If


As If is another great back pocket game that requires no staff prep or extra supplies. While the time frame is listed as a 45 minute rotation, you can easily do this as a movement break or as a time filler for transitions. 

Target Area: Any

Objective: To incorporate physical fitness activities in a small area of the Club.

Target Age Group: Ages 6-9

Time to Complete: one 45 minute rotation

Materials Needed: None


Instructions: 

Have all of the members stand up and act out the following scenarios for 20-30 seconds each. If using this as a full rotation, invite members come create their own activities to act out choosing a new member each time to share an idea.

Jog in place as if a big scary bear is chasing you.

Walk forward as if you're walking through chocolate pudding.

Jump in place as if you are popcorn popping.

Reach up as if grabbing balloons out of the air.

March in place and play drums as if you are in a marching band.

Swim as if you are in a giant pool of Jell-O.

Reach down and stand up as if you are picking up a very heavy weight.
