Academic Integration Areas:

  1. The Challenge Course activities can integrate Muscular Use Identification, Numeric Patterns and Contrasting Terms.

    The teacher can say:
    • Tell me the main muscles that are used during your leaping and jumping fitness activities.
    • What muscles are you using during crab walks, curl-ups, and push-ups?
    • Create a pattern for moving through the Challenge Course. Reverse the pattern.

  2. The Frisbee 21 game requires cooperation and responsibility between the students. It also can reinforce numeric patterning.
    • What pattern did you notice developed to earn points? Were more points earned with the 2 handed catch or the 1-handed catch?
