Vowel Catcher
Language Arts Focus (Divisions I, II)
Gym or Open Space
Equipment: pinnies or foam balls
Apply basic rules and scoring systems, and demonstrate fair play when participating
1. Divide the class into two equal groups. Have the groups line up
on an end line at either end of a playing area.
2. Assign each student a vowel and identify two taggers (they can wear a pinnie or hold a
small foam ball). Have the taggers stand in the centre of the playing area.

3. Call out a word. If a student’s vowel is contained in that word, they try to move across the
gym using a specific locomotor movement (skipping, side steps, galloping, walking)
without being tagged or hit with a foam ball. If the vowel runner is tagged or hit, they
become a tagger and the previous tagger becomes the vowel. If vowel runners cross the
line on the other side without being tagged, they continue to be vowel runners.
