Fire, Water, Lightning: Summer Edition for Physical Education

This summer edition of Feuer, Wasser, Blitz brings summer commands with matching picture cards to physical education. The children run all over the playing field and can, at the command of the game leader, surf on a wave, blow bubbles, or lick an ice cream. Whoever performs the action last does a small extra task, after which everyone starts running again.

This is included in the material

• Game instructions with required material, game sequence, and tips for the game leader
• Commands with a short description of the movement to be performed for each command
• Picture cards with summer motifs for each command, as a set with labels and as a set without labels

Tips for using the material

• Obstacles: Additional obstacles such as boxes, mats, or benches can be set up on the playing field.
• Music: The running phases can be accompanied by music.
• Selection of commands: It is recommended to use only a portion of the commands per game so that the children are not overwhelmed.
• Holding up picture cards: The game leader can additionally show the commands with the matching picture card; children can also take on this task.
• Extra task: For the person who reacts last, push-ups or jumping jacks are suitable examples.

These skills are promoted

• Reaction time when quickly implementing the called commands
• Memory, because the children recall the appropriate movement for each command
• Movement expression when imitating everyday movements such as applying sunscreen, rowing, or playing paddleball
• Interaction when playing paddleball in pairs and rowing together in the same rhythm

You can find additional editions in the basic version of Feuer, Wasser, Blitz with command picture cards, the swimming edition, and the spring edition; for summer, the Memo-Staffel in the summer edition is also suitable.
