Kindergarteners were introduced to activities requiring scooter use. Scooter safety was compared to driving a car on the road. (I will keep the parent's driving stories shared by their dear young ones to myself. i.e. Sometimes when my Dad drives he will...) Students strengthened their leg, arm and abdominal muscles in relay races through out class.
1st, 2nd and 3rd graders were taught a version of Scooter Hockey, which half the class played together while the other half of the class participated in Revolving Door for the first time. We had many success stories with running through a long rope this week. This helps to prepare students with the rhythm of jumping into a long rope along with reducing the anxiety many students face about getting hit by the jump rope.
4th through 8th grade warmed up with Revolving Door. This game is a great way to add rhythmic activities to a lesson in a fun and challenging manner. The rest of time was spent in Scooter Hockey. With two games going on simultaneously, students were instructed to officiate themselves, taking responsibility for actions and encouraging honest, cooperative decision-making.
