NATIONAL STANDARDS: 1 – 5
INSTRUCTIONS:
One person gets in position on all fours while the other stands alongside, ready to begin the movement challenge. Challenge is to move over or run around partner a certain number of times. For example, move over your partner 5 times and run around 7 times.
Increase the challenge by having standing partners go over and around other students on all fours.
TEACHING HINTS:
Use “elbow-to-elbow” management technique to create partners.
When the task is completed, partners change positions, and the challenge is repeated.
Another variation is to have the all fours partners move slowly around the area.
INSTRUCTIONS:
Fitness Challenges
Alternate locomotor movements with strength challenges. Repeat the challenges as necessary. Challenge movement suggestions follow:
Flexibility and Trunk Development Challenges
Shoulder Girdle Challenges
In a push-up position, do the following challenges:
Abdominal Development
From a supine position:
From a sitting position: 1. Slowly lay down with hands on tummy; 2. Lift legs and touch toes.
TEACHING HINTS:
Scattered formation.
Use 30 seconds of music to signal locomotor movements. Follow with 30 seconds of silence so signal flexibility, shoulder girdle and abdominal movements.
Individual mats can be used as a “home” to keep students spaced properly.
Repeat the various trunk challenges as necessary.
Use different qualities of movement such as giant skips, tiny and quick gallops, or slow giant steps during locomotor activities to motivate students.
As students become more fit, repeat the entire sequence.
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Partners are about 20 feet apart. Partner A serves to partner B, who catches the ball and returns the serve to partner A.
2. Partner A serves to partner B, who makes a pass back to partner A. Change responsibilities.
3. Service One-Step. Partners begin about 10 feet apart. Partner A serves to partner B, who returns the serve with partner A catching. If there is no error and if neither receiver moved the feet to catch, both players take one step back. This is repeated each time no error or foot movement by the receivers occurs. If an error occurs or if appreciable foot movement is evident, the players revert to the original distance of 10 feet and start over.
4. A player stands at the top of the key on a basketball court. The object is to serve the ball into the basket. Scoring can be as in other basket-making drills: 3 points for a basket, 2 points for hitting the rim, and 1 point for hitting the backboard but not the rim. Partner retrieves the ball.
TEACHING HINTS:
These drills can be done without a net so that the entire class is engaged, and skill practice is maximized.
INSTRUCTIONS:
This game emphasizes the basic offensive strategy of volleyball. The game follows regular volleyball rules with the exception that the ball must be played three times before going over the net. The team loses the serve or the point if the ball is not played three times.
TEACHING HINTS:
Play as many games simultaneously so students aren’t standing waiting for a turn.
Students are huddled close together. Discuss the task sheets
Cheer: 6, 4, 2, teamwork’s for me and you.
