Ever thought about placing crabs who try tag the other crabs, to prevent them from taking the bean bags? Since you have a large gym, you could have more groups, to keep more students active at once, rather then waiting for a turn!

You can modify this any way that suits you. When the students return for Day 2, we go 2 crabs at a time per group. I also start and stop the music quicker for more group changes. If you have too many groups you run into kids getting tired and wrist/hand injuries. This gives them a chance to relax and cheer on their team mates. Thanks for checking the video out!

Love this game!! I played this today (from PE Central). My students were in pairs, so that one was crab walking and one was performing exercises while waiting. The continuous version to work on a sharing attitude=take one bag from your hoop and give it to someone else's hoop.
