NATIONAL STANDARDS: 1-5

Quick Hands

INSTRUCTIONS:

Students sit facing a partner with legs crossed or extended. One beanbag is placed on the floor equally between the two partners. The teacher calls out, “Right” or “Left,” and the students try to grab the beanbag with the hand that was called by the teacher. The same activity can be performed from a push-up position or a sit-up position. Partners face each other and quickly try to grab the beanbag with the right or left hand, as called by the teacher.

TEACHING HINTS:

Facing partner in scattered formation.

One beanbag per two students.

Change partners often.

Circuit Training

INSTRUCTIONS:

Students do the best they can at each station within the time limit. This implies that not all youngsters are required to do the same workload. Students differ and their ability to perform fitness workloads varies. Make fitness a personal challenge.
Rope Jumping
Push-Ups
Agility Run
Lower Leg Stretch
Juggling Scarves
Curl-Ups with Twist
Alternate Leg Extension
Tortoise and Hare
Bear Hug

Conclude circuit training with 2-4 minutes of walking, jogging, rope jumping or other self-paced aerobic activity

TEACHING HINTS:

Tape alternating segments of silence and music to signal duration of exercise. Music segments (begin at 35 seconds) indicate activity at each station while intervals of silence (10 seconds) announce it is time to stop and move forward to the next station.

Use signals such as start, stop, and move up to ensure rapid movement to the next station.

Ask students to do their personal best they can. Expect workloads to differ.

Poker Walk

INSTRUCTIONS:

Have students put on their pedometers and see if they are counting accurately. Students walk to the areas and pick up one card without looking at the card. They walk to as many areas as possible within a time limit and then add up the points.

TEACHING HINTS:

• Pre-arrange several decks of cards at set areas around walking area
• Have a prize for high- and low-point totals and then change the rules each time. Set it up so anyone can win by just walking to the card areas, picking up the card, and then adding up the points at the end of the time limit.

Pig Ball

INSTRUCTIONS:

Use a rubber pig or deflated playground ball to identify the pig. Divide the class into half. This activity is a continuous version of Alaskan Baseball. Team A stands in a single file line with the last person in line holding the pig. To start the game, the pig is thrown anywhere in the teaching area. The teacher will have to delineate this area. Team B then hustles to the pig and stands in a single file line behind the first person to reach the pig. They then hand the pig to the back of the line alternating between over the head and between the legs. This is best described as “Over and Under, Over and Under”. While Team B is doing this, the person that threw the pig is hustling around her team which is still standing in a single file line. Each time an end of the line is passed, the team receives a point. This allows all children to score at least one run for their team. When the pig gets to the last person on Team B, the team yells, “PIG”, and the pig is thrown anywhere in the teaching area. At this time the person that threw the pig begins running around his teammates who remain in a single file line. At the same time, Team A is hustling to the pig and beginning the over and under passing. The game continues in this fashion for as long as desired.
