One of my friends is a gym teacher. Since competitive ballgames are out (someone might get hit with a ball—gee, I remember when that was the point!) and running laps is seen as “too hard on the ones who are out of shape”, he takes them through a few warmup stretches and then sets up games. Their favourite? Tag! Freeze tag, animal tag—any tag. Kids who would otherwise spend the day staring into a gadget, love to chase each other!
