Freeze tag! Have the class spread out around the playing area. Select some players to be freezers and un-freezers. Give freezers a blue ball and un-freezers a red ball. If a runner gets tagged with a blue ball, then they become a frozen statue. To become unfrozen, a player must be tagged with a red ball. Players continue running around playing tag until the game is stopped.
