Explanation

Set up four stations in the four corners of the area of play.

Station 1 - Numbered Bean Bags. Station 2 - Letter Bean Bags. Station 3 - Counters. Station 4 - Geometric Shapes.

The activity starts with 2 color teams, (red and blue), on one side of the gym, and the 2 other color teams, (yellow and green), on the other side of the gym. Once a student is hit they go to their station and create a pattern. After 5 minutes, the game is stopped, and all members return to create a pattern. After the pattern is created, teams move to their next station before the game begins. Repeat until all teams work in all stations.
