NATIONAL STANDARDS: 1-5
INSTRUCTIONS:
Students move throughout area in designated manner while the music is playing. When music stops, they stop and perform a stretching activity lead by teacher or selected student.
TEACHING HINTS:
Bring students together in a scattered formation.
Use cones to designate activity area.
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
Strength Jackpot
Flexibility Jackpot
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.

INSTRUCTIONS:
This relay is like the fetch relay, except that after 1 person has been fetched, both players run back and pick up another player. The pattern continues until all squad members are running back and forth, picking up the remaining members.
TEACHING HINTS:
Use Whistle Mixer to create line/squads of 5-6.
Modify the game with the introduction of two separate teams. The team that catches the most people or has more people in their line at the end, wins the relays.
INSTRUCTIONS:
Explain a benefit of Aerobic Workouts.
Why is it important to warm up before climbing? Why is it important to be able to properly tie the two knots?
When do you use the double figure eight with a bite?
Cheer: We love rock climbing!
