Engagement: 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥Equipment: None (cones for boundaries optional)Time: 10-15 min
Select 2 starters as the "blob" who link arms/elbows. They move together tagging others; tagged players link on, growing the chain/blob. The blob stays connected while chasing—silly chain reactions, kids adore getting "absorbed."
TEKS K-5.1A: (locomotor skills), TEKS K-5.2A: (cooperation)
Character Focus: Inclusion and fun unity — like growing together in God's family.
Cross-Curricular: Science (chain reactions)
📺 Watch: Blob Tag PE Demo
🖨️ Print Game
Comprehensive Modifications/Adaptations for ALL Grades:
K: Teacher starts as blob, gentle tags, short rounds, focus on holding hands safely, 5-8 min
1st: Two starters, blobs split at 4 players, add color calls for fun
2nd: Full growth with safe unlink for breaks, longer chases
3rd: Strategy like blob shapes/formations, competitive rounds
4th: Time challenges, peer reflections on inclusion/adaptability
5E Lesson Plan Structure:
🔥 Engage: Silly blob demo with sounds/movements for laughs.
🔍 Explore: Small groups practice linking/moving as mini-blobs.
📖 Explain: Rules/safety, TEKS on group travel, character on cooperative kindness.
🚀 Elaborate: Full game, add animal themes or split rules.
✅ Evaluate: Group discussions on how connection built teamwork.
