Beanbags will be set up on the other • Hula hoops will be set out in the middle of the gym in all sorts of random places • Rabbits goal is to get to other side of gym and bring all the beanbags back to the side they started at. However they can only get to other side by hopping. Rabbits are safe in holes but they can only stay in them for 3 seconds. • Also if another rabbit jumps in their hole, they must leave!

They have to slowly lower their hands to their sides. • Once their hands hit their sides they are melted and sit down. • HOWEVER, if another student in the middle runs under their arms, they are no longer a candle and can continue dodging the balls. • After 3 minutes, the instructor will call switch, and the people in the middle will go to the outside and vice versa Observations/Comments/Reflections
