Description of Games:
Colored Spot Search
Students are placed into pairs or small groups. Students travel together by using various locomotor skills in search of the hidden spots. Teams must stay together when traveling and must find the hidden spots in the order on the scavenger cards by flipping spot over to reveal its color. As each spot is found, teams must report to the teacher and then continue with the next colored spot.
Agility Race
Set cones up equally spaced on a basketball sideline and have 2-3 students stand behind each cone. Scatter hidden spots in playing area in front of the cones. Call out color sequences starting with just two colors at a time. Have students run and touch each colored spot in correct sequence with their hands and then return to cone. When color is repeated back to back, students MUST touch two different spots (cant touch the same spot twice in a row). Progress color sequence from 2 colors to 6 colors. Continue repeating the color sequence to help students. Can use projector and display the color sequence for a visual aid.
Agility Race w Basketballs/Soccer balls
Repeat same agility activity as above but add dribbling a basketball and squatting down to touch hidden spot with non dribbling hand. If using a soccer ball, students dribble ball and tap spot with their non dribbling foot.

Spot the Scoop
Balance the ice cream scoop while the other person searches for the right spot color!
Equipment:
Set-up:
- Scatter the hidden spots all over the gym space
- Put the students onto 6 teams behind a cone
- Give each team an ice cream cone
- Put the remaining scoops of ice cream in a hoop near teacher
How to play:
Assign each team a color (the cone in front of them is there color)
- When the teacher says go, the first student in the line runs to a hidden spot, turns it over to see the color. If it is the color they need (let’s say purple) they take the spot to the teacher and earn their ice cream scoop.
- The next person in line should be balancing the ice cream scoop while the person in front of them searches for the right spot color.
- If a student travels to a spot and it is not a color they want, they should flip it back over and return back to their team so the next student can go out on the hunt.
- The goal is to find all 6 scoops of your color before the other teams find theirs.
- The other players should be watching the other teams flipping spots so they can see where their color might be.
- You can also balance the ice cream cone in the cone for your team.
