NATIONAL STANDARDS: 1-4
INSTRUCTIONS:
Students are in a ready position with the head up, arms flexed in front of the body, knees slightly bent, and feet straight ahead and shoulder-width apart. The leader gives a hand signal left or right. The class responds by making a quarter jump turn in that direction and returning to the starting position as quickly as possible.
TEACHING HINTS:
Students in scatter formation
A variation involves having participants move on a verbal signal such as “Go.” The students then make a quarter turn to the left or right and wait for the next signal. They continue to make quarter turns on each signal.
INSTRUCTIONS:
A large rectangle is formed using four cones as markers. Students move continually around the perimeter of the rectangle. At each corner, a different movement is performed. Examples of activity alternatives that can be performed on the long sides of the rectangle are jogging, power skipping, sliding, jumping, and hopping. On the short sides of the rectangle, movements requiring slower, more concentrated attention (for example, lunges and inchworms) can be performed.
TEACHING HINTS:
An interesting variation is to set up tumbling activities or tires and challenge students to go over, around, and through them. The need for continuous movement should be emphasized, and the rectangle should be large enough to provide a challenging workload for the cardiorespiratory system.
