Round of the World Cup
·5
minutes- Instant Activity: Aerobic exchange
Materials
Needed:
All available PE equipment, the physical plant, paper, cardboard, task
cards with about 50 different activity words which may be laminated
Description
of Idea
Place
five words on a task card that pertain to the physical plant or objects
that may be found in the gym or playing area. For instance the task card
may have the following words on a card: pole, cloth, blue, wood, rectangle.
(Make
about 28 task cards with different sequential orders to make the exchanges
challenging.)
On
the teachers signal students must touch something in the room that matches
the words on their activity cards. In the example above the students would
first touch a pole, then something made out of cloth, something that is
blue in color, etc. Upon completion of the five tasks they exchange
their card with another student in the designated exchanging area (i.e.
coned off area of your choice). The object is to exchange as many task
cards in the time allotted. 3-5 minutes is typically a good time allotment
for this.
Teaching
Suggestions:
Stress
"eyes up" at all times so students don't run into one another.
Make
sure they touch the objects gently!
Variations:
To
incorporate a complete aerobic workout, have the student jog in place and
search out another jogger and this will determine when the task is completed
and cards need to be exchanged.
