NATIONAL STANDARDS: 1-5
INSTRUCTIONS:
Students find a partner. Under control, one partner runs, dodges, and tries to lose the other, who must stay within 3 feet of the runner. On signal, both stop and freeze. Chasers must be able to touch their partners to say that they have marked them. Partners then change roles.
TEACHING HINTS:
Allow a point to be scored only when they touch a specified body part (i.e., knee, elbow, left hand).
Clarify it is not a tag game but rather shadowing your partner. Allow one giant step in any direction to see if they can “mark” their partner.
INSTRUCTIONS:
16 Runs clockwise
16 Runs counterclockwise
16 Jumps to center
16 Jumps back
8 count lift overhead
8 count lower to toes
4 count lift

Repeat all, but increase difficulty by holding chute overhead on CW run
Release on last lift.
After the aerobic movements above have been learned, stop the music, and insert the exercises below.

INSTRUCTIONS:
Play appropriate music for the routines.

Do not have anyone perform alone as it can cause embarrassment. Set etiquette/ behavior rules before presentations begin. Clap for all students.
Make a general comment praising student creativity.
