▪ Instructions: For “Giants, Wizards, and Goblins,” there will be 2 teams
standing on opposite halves of the court facing each other. Both teams will get
together and decide if their team will be giants (standing tall with their hands
up), wizards (standing with the hands pointing out), or goblins (bent over with
their hands down). They must choose a first choice character and a second
choice character in case the other team chooses the same first choice
character. The instructor will say “3-2-1” attack and the teams will act out
their characters. Giants beat wizards; wizards beat goblins; and goblins
beat giants. Whichever team loses has to run to the safe zone (on their side of
the court) and try not to get tagged by the winning team. Whoever is tagged
will join the winning team.
