Instant Activity:
We will start off with a game of capture
the flag. There will be two teams one on
the red cone side one on the green. When
I say go you have to try to run to the
other teams side and take their flag
without getting tagged. If you get tagged,
you have to go to the jail and wait for a
teammate to come tag you out. If you are
on your side of the court, then you are
safe
