The Four S’s Read the following scenario that describes the game of Red Rover (an activity in the hall of shame!). Reflect on how this game violates the Four S’s as outlined in Chapter 8: safe, success, satisfying, and skill appropriate. Two teams face each other across half of a basketball court and take turns calling players over from the opposite side. After Team A decides who it wants to challenge, the members join hands to form a long chain and call for Team B to “send Frank over.” Frank then runs as fast as possible to either break through or dive under the chains formed by Team A. If Frank fails to break through, he becomes part of Team A. If he succeeds, he returns to his team together with the two players of Team A who were at the point he broke through. Team B now calls over a player from Team A. You can choose to discuss Red Rover or any of the other games that violate at least one of the four S’s. Some examples are: dodge ball, “Messy Back Yard”, relay races, tug of war, “Simon Says”, musical chairs, tag, etc. Explain the basics of the game/activity that you chose and how it is usually played. Give an analysis of how it specifically violates at least one of the Four S’s. Finally, include a detailed explanation on how you would modify and adapt this activity so that it meets all of the Four S’s: safe, success, satisfying and skill appropriate. It might be that the activity would need to be completely revised and a new activity would need to take its place in order to not violate the Four S’s. In that case, explain which activity you would use to replace this one. Tips down below Hello Classmates, Before introducing an activity to children, it is SO important that we ask ourselves if it is developmentally appropriate! In Chapter 8, we learn about the four S’s that help us determine whether or not activities are appropriate. The four S’s described include (Hastie, 2012): • • • • Safe-safe from physical and emotional harm Success-instilling competence for future participation (the “I Can” attitude) Satisfy-challenging and motivating to create a positive attitude toward physical activity Skill Appropriate-accommodates the diverse skills and abilities of all students Required Criteria: Identify the name of your game: Red Rover • • Instructions (Modules, Click Week 4-Discussion 1)-Read the scenario that describes the game of Red Rover. Instruction examples (Modules, Click Week 4-Discussion 1)-dodge ball, Messy Back Yard, relay races, tug of war, Simon Says, musical chairs, tag, etc. Explain the basics of the game/activity you chose and how it is usually played Give an analysis of how the chosen activity/game specifically violates at least ONE of the Four S’s Renae’s sample: Red Rover violates more than one of the four S’s. I will give an analysis of one-safety. When the opposing team’s player is running at a fast pace toward the defending team, the defending team’s hands are joined. I view this practice as an “accident” waiting to happen! Children are trying to “break” through the chain; potentially causing injury to hands and arms. Include a detailed explanation on how you would modify and adapt this activity so that it meets ALL FOUR S’s; safety, success, satisfying and skill appropriate Renae’s sample: I would not modify this activity! I don’t envision adaptations that would meet “all” four S’s! Explain which activity you would use to replace this one. Renae’s sample: I would replace Red Rover with a developmentally appropriate activity; Large Cup Stacking (http://www.speedstacks.com/store/instructor/speed-stacks-jumbos/). Students will be divided into two teams; each having their own activity area. Cups will be placed inside each team’s activity area. Students will be asked to: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Stack all cups before the other team stacks their cups Please spread cups and return back to one end of the activity area. Stack all red, yellow and blue cups together before the other team completes stacking. Please spread cups and return back to one end of the activity area. Make pyramids before the other team completes making their pyramids. Please spread cups and return back to one end of the activity area. Make a red, yellow and blue pyramid before the other team completes making their colored pyramids. This activity addresses each of the S’s: • • • • Safety-It is safe from physical harm; and, emotional harm. Classmates are working together rather than against each other. Success-The activity will instill the “I Can” attitude. Satisfy-The differing activities involved in cup stacking offer challenges that will motivate students. Skill Appropriate-“All” children can participate; regardless of their skills and abilities.

Red Rover is a game that falls into the activity hall of shame. Red Rover was always a fun game
for us growing up. After reading about the four S’s I can see how this game violates the Four S’s
and is not an appropriate game in today’s day and age. The basic idea of the game is that the
large group is split into 2 teams.
The teams then form 2 lines. After deciding which team goes first, the team decides who they
will call over. They th...
