Toilet Tag!
When: Saturday, May 12 Parent of players at Manor Park U5 Soccer are invited to play ‘Toilet Tag’ during the warm-up tomorrow!
What’s this all about?
Manor Park Soccer develops more than just soccer skills in children. We aim to help your child build all kinds of motor skills (also known as physical literacy) that will help them stay active for life – or even develop into an Olympic athlete! So, during practices at Manor Park Soccer children will play with and without soccer balls – and often games that don’t look like soccer at all.
So please join in for ‘Toilet Tag’ during our 5’ warm-up. Here is how it’s played:
TOILET TAG: Part 1: Parents are it! Children run around trying to avoid being tagged by an adult. Once tagged, the child must ‘freeze’ on one knee and with their hand above their head. To ‘unfreeze’, an adult must touch the child’s hand. The child then jumps up and spins around 360 degrees, before resuming running. (Making flushing sounds while spinning is fun too!) Part 2: Kids are it! Parents and children trade places and parents are frozen and unfrozen. Please see above for details.
