OBJECTIVE
To run through the streets and alleys without getting caught by the cop
EQUIPMENT
Open space, pinnies
DIRECTIONS:
Layer 1 – familiarization with the play area and cues
- Have students line up in 4 equal rows, spaced out evenly, and facing the same direction.
- Have students spread arms out so fingers are just touching the person’s on either side of them.
- Streets are formed when players’ arms form longer sections, and Alleys are shorter (refer to diagram below)
Layer 2 – the game
- Select a cop to chase a robber (each wearing different coloured pinnies) through the streets and alleys.
- Start in Streets position with the cop and robber on opposite sides
- On “GO” the cop must chase the robber, and when you call out either Streets or Alleys the players forming the walls must turn and face the appropriate direction
- If caught, they you choose who gets the pinnies for the next round.
- Make sure to select new a new cop and robber each round so everyone gets a chance, and match them up as evenly as possible to make it fair (switch runners if robber still hasn’t been caught in 45 seconds, etc.)
- As the caller, it’s your responsibility to make sure that the cop and robber have a fair game, call Streets/Alleys slower or faster depending on if the game is too easy for either player
MODIFICATIONS
- Add more cops/robbers
- Move people around to make some streets/alleys longer than others, or have breaks in the walls
SAFETY CUES
- Keep head up when running
- When forming streets/alleys everyone should always turn in the same direction
- Don’t run through the walls
- Keep arms rigid when turning, but be careful not to hit anyone running
