Pentabridge Hustle

INSTRUCTIONS:

Students form groups of five. They spread out as far as possible in the playing area and form individual bridges that another person can move under. On signal, the first person in the group of five moves under the other four bridging students, runs ahead 6 to10 steps, and forms a bridge. The next person in sequence moves under the four bridges. This sequence becomes a continuous movement activity. Activity success depends on making sure that students form bridges that are quite a distance apart so that enough running occurs to ensure warm-up. This activity can also be modified by forming bridges and having the moving students step over the bridges.

TEACHING HINTS:

Use Whistle Mixer to create groups of 4 – 5.

Students move continuously under bridges made by group.
