NATIONAL STANDARDS: 1 – 5

Triangle Plus One Tag

INSTRUCTIONS:

Groups of four players. Form a triangle with three players holding hands. One of the three players is designated as the person to be tagged. The fourth person is the tagger. The goal of the game is to keep the designated person from getting tagged. After a designated amount of time (usually 7-10 seconds), the game is stopped, and a new tagger is selected.

TEACHING HINTS:

Make sure everyone plays all roles, i.e., tagger, protectors, and person to be tagged.

If the game is allowed to be played for more than 10 seconds, it can get out of hand because students fatigue and feel embarrassed that they can’t tag the designated person.

Jackpot Fitness

INSTRUCTIONS:

Three different “jackpots” (boxes) are filled with fitness exercises and activities are placed around the teaching area. One jackpot is filled with a variety of strength development activities written on small index cards. A second jackpot is filled with flexibility activities. The third jackpot contains aerobic activities. Students can work individually or with a partner. They begin at one of the jackpots of choice and randomly pick out an activity to perform. If with a partner, they take turns selecting the card from the box. The only stipulations are that they must rotate to a different box each time and cannot select an activity they previously performed. If they pick an activity they performed on a previous stop, they return it to the jackpot and select another.

Aerobic Jackpot

Carioca around the basketball court.
Perform a “mirror drill” with your partner for 30 seconds.
Jump rope using both slow and fast time.
Tortoise and Hare/Running in place.
Marching with high steps around the area.

Strength Jackpot

Perform Abdominal Challenges
Perform Push-up Challenges
Do the Treadmill exercise
Do as many Power Jumpers as possible
Perform as many Crab Kicks as possible.

Flexibility Jackpot

Perform the Bend and Twist exercise.
Stretch using the Sitting Stretch.
Stretch using the Lower Leg Stretch.
Do the Standing Hip Bend.
Perform the Body Twist.

TEACHING HINTS:

Allow students to adjust the workload to their level. This implies resting if the rope jumping is too strenuous.

A music interval of 30 seconds signals the duration of fitness activity followed by 10 to 15 second interval used for selecting a new activity from a different jackpot.

Students are expected to perform as many repetitions as possible while the music is playing.

Hiking the Mountains – Use Task Sheet #6

INSTRUCTIONS:

This activity is for pacing as well as improving target heart rate during the activity. Students walk the track at their pace. Concentrate on personal stride and answering questions on the sheet.

TEACHING HINTS:

Students are in squads to receive the orienteering assignment. Briefly explain the task sheet and have the students move onto the track.

Entanglement

INSTRUCTIONS:

Divide the class into two or more groups. Each group makes a tight circle with arms pointing toward the middle. In each group, students hold someone’s hand until everybody is holding hands. Each person must hold a hand of two different people and not hold the hands of the people on either side. On signal, the two groups race to see which group can untangle first without disjoining hands. The group may end up in either one large circle or two smaller, connecting circles. People can be facing different directions when finished.

INSTRUCTIONS:

Review elements included in Task Sheet.
What muscles were used in today’s Challenge Course?
When and where did the competitive sport of Orienteering begin?
What forms are you creating in the game Entanglement?

Cheer: Fitness and hiking are really fun!
