G.1IntroductionThe Fundamental Movement Skills Game Cards for Preschoolers have been designed to make itas easy as possible for staff to facilitate games that develop children’s locomotor and manipulativeskills. Use the game cards as part of fundamental movement skills learning experiences with a skillspecific warm up and cool down, each five minutes in duration.See The Physical Activity Handbook – Preschoolers (page P.15)for more information and ideas for warm ups.See The Physical Activity Handbook – Preschoolers (page P.20)for more information and ideas for cool downs.Adapt the ideas to suit the needs and interests of the children at your service. For example thesongs, props and themes used in the learning experiences can be modified to suit children’s currentand emerging interests, while still supporting the development of the fundamental movement skill(s).I Move We Move, The Physical Acitivity Handbook – Game Cards, Edition 1 August 2009AREA HEALTH SERVICE
G.2G.2Birray(a traditional Aboriginal game of tag)Young children in the Bloomfield area of North Queensland played the game of birray (march–fly).This is a game where a chaser (birray) tries to tag other children. The name of the game and theword for march-fly is taken from the Wik-MungKan language of North Queensland.Locomotor skills in this game RunningEquipment Traffic cones or other markersI Move We Move, The Physical Acitivity Handbook – Game Cards, Edition 1 August 2009AREA HEALTH SERVICE
G.3How to playLook out for Set out a rectangular area with traffic cones Practice running technique by asking the childrento run in a straight line from one side of theactivity area to the other side, and back again Ask the children to spread out in the activity area.Choose one child to take the part of the birray(march-fly). The birray shuts their eyes or isblindfolded and runs around trying to tag or touchanother player in the group. When a player is caught,they become the new birray and the game continues Make sure the children are spreadout in the activity area Check children are not running ‘flatfooted’. If so, demonstrate runningto children using exaggerated legmovements Remind the children to use theirarms when they are runningMaking this game easierMaking this game harder Ask the children to jog slowly back and forth alonga straight line and check their technique. Repeatthis and get children to slowly increase speed witheach turn Ask the children to copy you running (in slow motion)in a straight line completing the knee lift, correct armaction and leg bend behind the body. Emphasiseholding your head up and looking forwards whenrunning Place the markers on the groundabout two metres apart and havethe children zig-zag between themto improve their agility Set out an obstacle course for thechildren to run around Play “What’s the time Mr Wolf”More ideas The birray attempts to tag or touch as many of the other players as possible in a set time e.g.counting to ten. Players are not eliminated from the game if they are touched The birray imitates the buzz of a birray or march-fly during the game. This can be whilechasing the other players or only when they catch another playerI Move We Move, The Physical Acitivity Handbook – Game Cards, Edition 1 August 2009AREA HEALTH SERVICE

G.5How to playLook out for On a soft-fall or grassed area, make a start line.Use chalk, masking tape or carpet squares tomake four ‘lily pads’ in a straight row as shown inthe diagram. Repeat this row of lily pads four orfive times and place a marker about ten metres away Start the activity with all children in a group facingyou. Sing the “Da Glump” song (change the words“Da Glump” to “A Jump”) while children practicejumping Demonstrate to children how to jump like a frogon each lily pad in their row and then run around themarker and back to the start. Ask children to copy you Demonstrate how to run, emphasising the leg andarm movements Remind the children to look forwardand “reach for the stars and pullthem down” as they jumpMaking this game easierMaking this game harder Hang a streamer long enough for children toreach when they jump. Ask children to jump upand tap the streamer and land on two feet Ask the children to copy you running in slow motionin a straight line, check their technique and ensurethey complete the knee lift, forward arm lift (witharms bent opposite arm to leg) and leg lift behindthe body. Emphasise that the head should be upand children looking forwards Ask the children to jump in differentdirections: forwards, backwards andsideways Roll up a towel and ask children tojump across the river. Make thetowel a little wider, then wideragain to increase the distance theyhave to jump Set out an obstacle course forrunning and jumpingMore ideasGive it an Australian feel by singing “A jump went the kangaroo last night etc”I Move We Move, The Physical Acitivity Handbook – Game Cards, Edition 1 August 2009AREA HEALTH SERVICE

Withoutusing a throwing stone ask thechildren to jump with one foot inboth squares one and two, then hopon one foot in triangle three. Thenjump (one foot in each triangle) onfour and five, hop into six then jumpinto seven. Turn around 180 degrees(landing on both feet again) in sevenand then follow the same patternback to start. There is no markerthrowing in this gameMore ideas Leave the hopscotch grid set-up for the children to use during free active play Adapt this activity to practice jumping. Check to see if the children take off and land on twofeet when they are jumping. Substitute “jump” for “hop” in the song. To make jumpingeasier, ask the children to jump from two feet and land on one footI Move We Move, The Physical Acitivity Handbook – Game Cards, Edition 1 August 2009AREA HEALTH SERVICE

Ask the children to copy you Ask the children to do really bigleaps and use their arms Check to see the arm opposite thelead foot is reaching forward whenleaping Ask the children to run fast and lookfor bent arms moving in the oppositionto their legsMaking this game easierMaking this game harder Crocodile leap – set two long ropes at an angle toeach other (about one metre at the narrow endand three metres at the wide end). Starting at thenarrow end, ask the children to attempt to leapacross the “river” which is full of crocodiles. Witheach successful leap, encourage the child to leapover the wider parts Game: ask the children to say“Crocodile, crocodile, can we crossthe river?” Then call out a colour.The children with that colour ontheir clothing then have to run andleap across the crocodiles then runto the other side of a marked out area Using a long rope with a bean bagtied to the end, swing the ropearound gently and low to the ground.Ask the children to leap over therope as it swings aroundMore ideas If you have limited outdoor space decrease the distance between the crocodiles and/or thedistance to the marker. Keep in mind that a certain amount of distance is required for theshort run needed to be able to leapI Move We Move, The Physical Acitivity Handbook – Game Cards, Edition 1 August 2009AREA HEALTH SERVICE
