INSTRUCTIONS:

Various fitness activities are written on index cards and then placed in a “hat” (shoe box). The shoe box can then be placed at the center of the gym or at another convenient place for students to pick up and return the cards. Students can work alone or with a partner. Partners take turns selecting the fitness card from the box. Following are some suggested fitness activities:

• Dribble the basketball down and back up the length of the gym.
• Do a crab walk across the width of the gym.
• Jog and shake hands with eight different people. Tell them to have a good day.
• Perform two layup shots at three different baskets.
• Slide to the drinking fountain and get a drink.
• Do carioca steps around the basketball court two times.
• Perform a mirror drill with a partner for 30 seconds.
• Jog over and tell your teacher that physical education is a fun activity.
• Perform three partner resistance exercises with a different partner.
