AUTHOR:  Dan Beaubien, Altamont Elementary;
         Klamath Falls, OR

GRADE LEVEL:  K-2

PURPOSE:  Teach cooperation, coordination, communication,
ability, fun.

OBJECTIVES:
     For Dragon - guard the jewel and touch (or freeze) the
Knights as they enter the circle.
     For Knights - get the jewel with out being touched
(frozen) by the Dragon.

ACTIVITIES AND PROCEDURES:
     Have the class sit down in a circle with their legs
crossed and enough space on either side for a person to pass
through in and out of the circle.
     Choose one person to be the Dragon and two others to be
the Knights.
     The Dragon goes into the circle with the jewels (a bean
bag or a small ball).  When he/she drops the jewel it can no
longer be touched by anyone except the Knights.  If the
dragon should touch the jewel (even accidentally) it will
freeze the Dragon.  The two Knights try to enter into the
circle where the jewel is being guarded and with out being
touched (frozen) grab the jewel and get it out of the
circle.
     When Knights achieve objective or two minutes have
passes (and Dragon wins) then pick new players.
