EQUIPMENT:

8 Cones
1 Volleyball per student
Music intervals for Fitness Challenges
Volleyball courts and nets

OUTCOMES:

The student will:

Demonstrate cooperation and running during the Running High Fives
Participate in Fitness Challenges during the fitness section of class to improve agility, flexibility, muscular strength, muscular endurance, and aerobic endurance.
Participate in the Round-Robin Volleyball Tournament following the instructions given by the instructor.

NATIONAL STANDARDS: 1 – 5

Running High Fives

INSTRUCTIONS:

Students use a locomotor movement (run, skip, slide, gallop) to move around. When whistle is blown, students run to a partner and jump in air and give each other a “high five” and then continue moving until whistle is blown again.

TEACHING HINTS:

Scattered formation in area marked off by cones.

Alternate locomotor movements.

Fitness Challenges

INSTRUCTIONS:

Alternate locomotor movements with strength challenges. Repeat the challenges as necessary. Challenge movement suggestions follow:

Flexibility and Trunk Development Challenges

Bend in different directions; 2. Stretch down slowly and back up; 3. Combine bending and stretching movements; 4. Sway back and forth; 5. Twist one body part; add body parts; 6. Make your body move in a large circle; 7. In a sitting position, wave your legs at a friend; 8. Make circles with your legs.

Shoulder Girdle Challenges

In a push-up position, do the following challenges:

Lift one foot; the other foot; 2. Wave at a friend; wave with the other arm; 3. Scratch your back with one hand; reverse; 4. Walk your feet to your hands; 5. Turn over; shake a leg; crab walk.

Abdominal Development

From a supine position:

Lift your head and look at your toes; 2. Lift your knees to your chest; 3. Wave your legs at a friend.

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.

Round-Robin Volleyball Tournament

INSTRUCTIONS:

In a round-robin tournament, every team plays every other team once. Final standings are based on win-loss percentages. To determine the amount of time the tournament will take, the following formula can be used:

TI(TI – 1)/2

Where TI = number of teams

For example, if there are five teams in the volleyball unit, 5(5-1)/2 = 10. 10 games must be scheduled.

TEACHING HINTS:

Explain Round-Robin Chart.

Limit the length of games to 5-7 minutes so that there is a chance to complete the tournament in 2 class periods.
