TEACHING HINTS:

Use toe to toe or elbow to elbow to group students in 2’s.

Fitness Scavenger Hunt

INSTRUCTIONS:

Students work together in teams or small groups. The teams stay together and hunt within the exercise area of the gym or field space.

Examples of entries that can be used on the exercise sheet:

  • Run to each corner of the gym and perform 25 curl-ups. All team members work together.
  • Run to the open set of bleachers and perform 25 step-ups on the first row. The count should be “up, up, down, down,” with the steps.
  • Do carioca steps to each of the other groups and tell them they are doing a good job.
  • Jog to the tumbling mats and perform two sitting stretches; hold each for eight counts.
  • Run and find the short jump ropes. Complete 25 jumps at a fast-time pace.
  • Jog and touch five walls, two different red lines, and three different black lines. Stay together with your group.
  • Jog to the “Jumping jacks” sign and perform 25 jumping jacks with at least four different variations in arm or foot patterns.

TEACHING HINTS:

The teams are given a laminated sheet or card that lists the area to find and the activities to perform at the designated area. The sheets could have 8 to 12 activities, depending on how long the fitness segment of the lesson is going to last.

Assign each team a different starting point to ensure that students are spread across all areas and that a backup of students does not occur at one of the fitness areas.

When teams complete their tasks, they continue walking around the area and cooling down.

INSTRUCTIONS:

Review Passing and Catching Skills

Students throw at a wall and catch the ball on rebound.

Throw and rebound a ball 10 times using dominant hand; switch to non-dominant hand.

Review Cradling

Have students run around the teaching area cradling the ball without bumping into anyone.

Play Lacrosse Keep Away Mini Game

Create groups of 3.

Assign groups to area.  Mark end lines.  Students toss and catch ball while person in center tries to intercept.  Change roles every 2 minutes to keep the game going.

Long Team Cageball

INSTRUCTIONS:

Divide the class into two lines opposite each other.

While seated, the object is to kick the ball over the head of the other team to score. No hands can be used.

TEACHING HINTS:

Use one or two 24” cageballs

Use lines or spots to mark the restraining lines so players don’t creep forward.

INSTRUCTIONS:
