INSTRUCTIONS:
Students jog around in the activity area. When the music stops, the student partners with another student and gets toe to toe as quickly as possible.

INSTRUCTIONS:
Move to the following signals:
Perform various strength and flexibility exercises between bouts of walk, trot, and sprint. Examples are:
TEACHING HINTS:
Tape alternating segments of silence and music to signal duration of exercise. Music segments indicate aerobic activity (30-45 seconds) while intervals of silence announce flexibility and strength development activities (30 seconds).
Assure that students run under control (not as fast as they can) and in the same direction.
Encourage students to perform at a level they feel comfortable. Youngsters are genetically different and should not be expected to do the same amount of exercise repetitions.
INSTRUCTIONS:
You need to create a challenge course appropriate to your school and teaching facility. Give the students directions requiring them to use the compass and count their steps.
TEACHING HINTS:

Leave rewards at specific points to make the challenge fun and memorable for the students.
