1st 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.
