A Month of Games: What a great submission from Precision Gymnastics This is called the dot game!... Rules: Only 1 gymnast by dot Coach decide the time for everybody to change dots (in sec) Coach give the start and count the decided time. Every gymnast has to change dot in the allowed time, and still only one gymnast by dot if gymnast does not make it in time, coach can decide what the gymnast(s) has/have to do (I.e. 1 push up, ...) Variations different locomotion specific colour forbidden dots, or line of dots or other... specific position when on the dots (knee scale, one foot, hollow on back, etc...) etc... with creativity, the variation is almost infinite!

A Month of Games: Another great submission from @precisiongymnasticsassoc! We love that Yves jumped in with them! ... In this tag game, every participant sit on a dot on the floor. Every dot is located a minimum of 6 feet apart. The hunter (tag person) try to catch the rabbit using a pool noodle to avoid touching person...... ORGANIZATION: In the attached clip, we set up 4 lines of dots: Line A (first line) Line B (second line) Line C (third line) Line D (fourth line) STARTING THE GAME: Participants can sit on a dot, but only in line A or line C. Participants in line A watch line B (line A & B are linked together) where nobody is sitting yet. Participant in line C watch line D ( line C & D are linked together) where no one is sitting yet. PLAYING THE GAME: The hunter try to catch the rabbit. If the hunter catches the rabbit (touching the rabbit with the pool noodle), reverse the role. To protect itself, the rabbit can go sit on a free dot with some one in front. In this case, the rabbit become the person sitting in front of the old rabbit. I.e. the rabbit sits on a free dot on line B, then the person sitting in front of it ON LINE A ONLY, stand up and run away (because line A is linked to line B) I.e. the rabbit sits on a free dot on line D, then the person sitting in front of it ON LINE C ONLY, stand up and run away This game is not recommended for too young participants! I would like to say 8 years old or older? ... Thanks for another lovely submission, we are accepting more all month so keep them coming!! #amonthofgames #albertagymnastics #gymnastics #alberta #fun #tag #happy
