In groups of at least four, one child takes on the role of the shark while the others are the fish. The aim of the challenge is simple: the shark must try to tag the fish before they reach the coloured hoop. Our Sports Majors will call out a colour, and the fish must dash to the correct hoop as quickly as they can.
The level of challenge can be increased or decreased by:
-
using more or fewer hoops
-
choosing smaller or larger hoops
-
placing the hoops closer together or further apart
-
adding more than one shark
This activity is a great test of agility, speed and positioning — all essential skills in team games such as football, netball, basketball and rugby.
