Materials
Needed:
index cards with instructions/activities written on them, couple of boxes
to put cards in, various balls, hoops, cones, and other equipment that
match the activities on the cards, stop watch or clock on wall that students
can see, upbeat music
Description
of Idea
Put
a number of index cards with written activities and instructions (see below)
on them in one or two boxes in the gym. Divide your class into groups of
two or three. Have the students read an activity index card from one of
the boxes. They are to return the card to the box and then their task is
to perform the activity as it was explained on the card.
It
is fine to use one box but I use two boxes so they aren't doing the same
activity at the same time. Tell the students how many activity cards they
will have to complete (older students can do 5-8, younger students 3 or
4). It is best to mix up harder tasks with easy ones. Inform the students
that you have the authority to have them do the activity again if you notice
them not doing it properly or following the directions on the card.

·Rest
for one minute while doing an appropriate stretch (this can't be your first
activity because we don't stretch cold muscles). If you get this card first
please select another one.
Variations:
As
students get used to this IA, you may want to hide the box so then one
of their tasks is to first find it and then do the task. This adds some
excitement.
Add
music and when you stop the music that means they have to get another card
regardless
