1. Explain that there will be 4-5 people "it." They are the remote
controls that freeze others into a couch potato. They will have a
tagger that represents the remote control.
2. You do not want to become a couch potato, so you need to move around
safely in the designated area, watching out for other people.
3. There will be an area using cones or a mat as the couch where the
couch potatoes go, and another area where the refrigerator is, in
which pretend fruits and vegetables have been placed. (Show them the
pictures of the laminated foods.) Frig can be 3-4 KS students standing
in a square, holding onto the foods.
4. Show them the area in which they should stay in. |

say, "Get off that couch!" The couch potato must prove that they are
not a couch potato by performing 5 push-ups, or sit-ups.

the game. |
