ABOUT THE TEACHER

SWEDISH TROLL TAG
 

Description:

Brief background – the Swedes believed in trolls 400 years ago, and Swedish Troll Tag is a part of the Swedish history and my inheritance. The game was initially a tag game, but balls have been added to make the game more modern.
  1. One person is the troll.
  2. Trolls lay down in the middle of a circle.
  3. Students tiptoe around the troll in a circle chanting – “1,2, and 3. Sch! Trolls asleep! 1,2, and 3.  Sch! Trolls asleep!”
  4. When the teacher claps, the troll awakens.
  5. The clap represents someone stepping on a twig that breaks.
  6. The strong troll is carrying boulders (2 voit balls), which he attempts throwing at the other students.
  7. When the ball hits a student, he or she turns to stone (frozen).
  8. This continues until all except one student are frozen, this student becomes the next troll.
