TEACHING HINTS:

Have the leader move in different shapes and designs. Have class freeze and see if they can identify the shape or formation.

At times, stop the drumbeat and have the class continue running. Challenge them to maintain the rhythm with their feet. Avoid the tendency to speed the rhythm.

Continuity Exercises

INSTRUCTIONS:

These exercises are a type of interval training. Create intervals with 30 – 35 seconds of music and 20 seconds of silence. During the music, the students jump rope.

Addition Tag

INSTRUCTIONS:

Two or more pairs are it with inside hands joined. These are the taggers. The other players run individually. The pairs move around the area, trying to tag with their free hands. The first player tagged joins the couple, making a trio. The three then chase until they catch a fourth. After catching a fourth player, the four divide and form two pairs, adding another set of taggers to the game. This continues until most of the players are tagged.

TEACHING HINTS:

If pairs are having difficulty tagging other players, add more pairs and substitute out pairs in an unobtrusive way. Running in pairs is demanding and students will tire quickly.
