Objective: Students will remain focused and alert to avoid being captured.

The Game:

The game starts with one student as the “Goblin”. The remaining group members (Little Ghosts) are lined up at the other end of the gym. On a signal, the Goblin (with back turned) begins to say, ” Little Ghost are you here?”

The students lined up at the the other end of the gym begin to shuffle walk toward the “Goblin”. After calling to the “ghost” several times, the “goblin” yells “Little Ghost here I come,” and then turns around and chases the “ghosts” back to the end in which they started. Along the way tagging any “ghosts”. Those tagged will in turn sit out. The last “ghost” remaining will be the winner.

Game Variations:
* Choose several children to be “Goblins”.
* “Ghost” captured by the ” Goblins” may be set free by other “ghosts”
* Use different locomotor skills instead of the shuffle walk.
