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.
