First grade students in Mr. Miller and Miss Phillips' PE class had a great time playing a lively game called “Turkeys in the Haystack” today! One student started as the hunter and called out a color. All students wearing that color had to sprint to a different “haystack” (mat) before being tagged. If they were caught, they joined the hunter for the next round. The students had a blast with this fast-paced game!
