Scat Cat

Posted by: Shannon King

Description: Equpiment needed: Poly Dots
(The number of Poly Dots depends on how much movement you want. More dots equals less movement. I use about 15-20 less than the total number of students)

Scat Cat is a tagging game. When a student gets tagged, they have to go to Exercise Ally and perform the given exercises before returning to the game. The poly dots are safe spots and students can say "scat cat" to take over any dot. Change out exercises and taggers each round.
