Football Scrimmage....Never Again

I will write this post to remind me to never attempt a football scrimmage again for 5th grades.  The amount of complaining, whining, pulling flag belts when not suppose to be on the field, air-headed comments 'What do I do?' after two weeks of football drills, rolling of eyes, throwing pennies on the floor, crying, and arrogance it is not worth the 3 minutes of one team actually completing a play.

They still didn't know what the numbers meant or positions.

These defensive guys tried to help me out as much as they could...... Bless their hearts as they are now crumbled up pieces of paper after being knocked over so many times.

How many times did a kid come to me saying there wasn't a number 2 only a letter Z?.........Too many!

Cones for out of bounds meant nothing to the kids as they ran for a touchdown.

Hard to see...but I taped numbers to the floor in case they couldn't remember Evens on the Right and Odds on the left.

So it is back to games involving tagging with different names to try to fake the kids in believing it is a different game.  Squirrel in the tree, Fox in the Morning, Scooter tag, Flag tag, Freezer Tag, Cat in the Corner, Fruits and Vegetables.......
