PhysEdZone: "The Food Chain" Physical Education activity

It's fun to add Science into Physical Education! Here is a exciting warm-up/Instant Activity I do with my Elementary students. This is a Rock, Paper, Scissor game. Everyone starts out as a fly (squat down low and flap your elbows) and finds a partner. If you win the round, you turn into a frog. If you lose, you remain a fly. Flies can ONLY play flies and frogs can ONLY play frogs. If you win as a frog, you become a snake (hands together and swing them back and forth making a hissing sound). If you lose as a frog, turn back into a fly. If you win as a snake, you turn into a hawk (Arms out and flap up and down like your flying making bird sounds). If you lose as a snake, you turn back as a frog. If you win as a hawk, you collect a point, then return to a fly. If you lose as a hawk, you turn back into a snake. This is a continuous game and is both cooperative and competitive. Enjoy!
