Doctor Doctor Soccer
Set-Up
Select a handful of students who are designated as taggers.
These students hold a pool noodle or other soft item that they can use to tag other students. Emphasize self-control with students so as not to hit the stomach, chest, and especially head/face.
Select a few students who are designated the Doctor. These students hold a bib/pinnie in their hands. Their role is to heal any student who gets tagged.
How to Play
The taggers look to tag students (who have a soccer ball) with their pool noodles. If a student is tagged, they cannot move and shout out ‘Doctor. Doctor.’ A Doctor runs over to them to heal them. Once healed, the student can continue playing.
The game continues until all the students are tagged and/or a time has elapsed. (A Doctor cannot be tagged).
Then change the students who are the taggers and Doctors.
Variations
The Doctors can slow the taggers down by sending them to the hospital (area created outside the square) if they touch them with their bib/pinnies.
All the players, including the taggers and the Doctors, have to dribble a ball.
