NATIONAL STANDARDS: 1-4
INSTRUCTIONS:
Marking is an excellent activity for learning to elude an opponent and learning to stay near someone defensively. Partners are selected, and one elects to stay near the other. On the first signal, the challenge is to stay as close as possible to the partner attempting to get away. When a second signal is given, both partners must immediately freeze. If the chaser can reach out and “mark” the partner, the chaser scores a point. Roles are reversed each time a signal is given. Locomotor movements can be changed for each round, for example, walking, fast walking, jogging, sliding, and doing carioca.
TEACHING HINTS:
Scattered formation
INSTRUCTIONS:
Continuity exercises can be done in squad formation or scatter formation. Because each student has a jump rope, students must have plenty of room to avoid hitting each other. Performers alternate between rope jumping and exercises. Rope jumping is done for timed episodes with music to help maintain the rhythm. At the signal to stop rope jumping, students quickly drop the rope and move into position for the exercise. Selected exercises should be performed in a down position with a leader who says, “Ready,” and the students respond, “One-two,” while performing the exercise. For each repetition, students wait until the command “Ready” is given. Students are allowed to monitor their own speed and intensity.
