Elem: Jump rope- WENDY

ROUTINE SHEET FOR:____________________________________(Name) *Pick one or two tricks,.*Place a number 1-2 for each skill. This will be the order for your routine.*You need a beginning and ending pose.

Forward Backward Skier

Bell Side Straddle 1 Foot

Forward Straddle Side Swings Body Wrap

Rocker Step Running Step Overhead swing

MHS: Isolations - TYHead (up/down, side to side, tilt right and left), shoulder shrugs, arms (up/down, out to the

sides, alternating), hands (clap, snap fingers, fists open and close, flex up/down), hips (side to side, in a circle), knees (bend and straighten), toes (up/down), heel touches, side steps, marching, walking (forward, backward, side to side, add a clap or a jump on count 4), grapevine, etc.

MHS: 8 Count - Wendy Take any movement and move to the music for 8 counts. For example, do the twist down, 2, 3,

4, up 6, 7, 8.

MHS: “Mirror Me” - TY-ANNPlace hula hoops in a circle, 75% of your students will be in a hula hoop creating a movement

for the remaining students to possibly mirror. If a student decides to mirror a student’s movement in a hula hoop and is successful he/she will get a thumbs up or high five from the creator. The student in the hula hoop then ventures out to find a new movement to mirror and the successful student steps in the hula hoop and creates a new movement for other students to come mirror.

STRIKE AND FIELDING:

MHS : Chicken Baseball - TY-ANNChicken Baseball - is an activity that encompasses physical activity and teamwork. Students

will be divided into two separate teams of 5-15 students. Team 1 will start in the infield. Team 2 will be the outfield. Team 1 will start play by tossing the rubber chicken anywhere in the designated area of play. Team 2 will run towards the chicken and line up single file behind the chicken. Students will then pass the chicken alternately through their legs and over their heads, the last student in line will yell stop when he/she has the chicken. During this the member of team 1 that threw the chicken will run around their whole group. Each successful revolution equals a run. The teams switch fields every time the last person yells stop. The game lasts 5 innings.

MHS: No Outs Kickball TY-ANNDivide your students into two teams. One team will start kicking and the other will be in the

outfield. The pitcher will roll the ball from the pitcher’s mound (hula hoop) in the outfield. Once the pitcher rolls the ball the kicker will kick and run towards first base and continue running around the bases. The outfield will retrieve the kicked ball and work as a team to pass the ball to the pitcher (cannot leave the mound) who will then roll or throw the ball to try and knock down a bowling pin (or cone) that is placed about 4 feet away. If the pitcher misses the bowling pin his/her team needs to retrieve the ball and get it back to the pitcher so that he/she may try to knock down the bowling pin again and this repeats until either the runner has scored or the bowling pin has been knocked down. If the pin gets knocked down the base runner must freeze and go back to the nearest base. If someone is on that base, then the base runner must go to the next base. Everyone that kicks a fair ball automatically gets first base. There are “NO OUTS” (even if a ball is caught)! Once everyone has had an opportunity to kick and run, you switch infield and outfield. Also, I rotate a new pitcher in every time a new kicker steps up to the plate. A tally counter is helpful with keeping track of runs scored for each team.

COOPERATIVES:

Elem and MHS: Maze (step pattern) - KARLIEach group will have “maze” sheets that outline a step pattern. The pattern must be completed

in order. The challenge to this activity is students are not allowed to talk. Confirmation with a head shake “yes” or “no” is allowed. The step pattern may be forward, backwards, sides or diagonal. If a student steps into the incorrect box, they move to the end of the line. The team must memorize the pattern in the fastest time. The maze becomes more challenging as they move up in memorizing more step pattern levels.

MODIFICATIONS: - Students can place an item in the square once confirmation is given by the leader as a correct

box. - Verbally communicating with team.- Step patterns can be simplified. (forward and side movements only)- Step pattern number decreased.

TARGET:

Elem : Frisbee Horseshoes - Wendy

Two students will need two hula hoops and a frisbee. Students will stand back to back and walk out five to 10 steps with their hula hoop. Next, they will turn around face their partner and set their hula hoop on the ground. The goal is to throw the frisbee into your partner's hula hoop. If the frisbee lands inside without touching the hula hoop it is worth 3 pts. When the frisbee lands on or touches the hula hoop, it is worth 2 pts. Finally, anything 1 foot away is worth 1 pt. Measure by placing the heel of your foot to the hula hoop and stretching your foot out to the frisbee. If it touches both the hula hoop and frisbee it is a good point. Play until one person reaches a score of 11.

MODIFICATIONS : - Move closer to the hula hoop “target”- Use 1 hula hoop and two frisbees (both students play at the same target)

MHS: Golf- yarn and bowling pins JULIE (Karli)

Students playing golf will hit to a curtain or wall. Different parts of the curtain/wall will be measured as a type of “hit distance”. Ten stations set up in a line about 40 feet from curtain and 4-5 feet from each other. Each station (tee box) will have two golf balls, golf club on an upside down stepper. Safety commands given to students (1. Set 2. Hit 3. Ball #2 4. Hit 5. Retrieve) Students will track how far they hit and compare to a golf course hole (Par 4, Distance 450).

MODIFICATIONS:- Golf club head surface area increased by adding cardboard angled to a certain loft.- Original golf club but hitting a yard ball to prevent ball from moving.- Distance may be a ball rolling pass a line at 5 feet, 10 feet, 20 feet…- Putting may include an underhand roll with ball to a bowling pin place on the putting green.

GOLF DISTANCEYARDS = PART OF CURTAIN SWING

200 = MESH FULL SWING

150 = SOLID RED, MIDDLE TO TOP PITCH SHOT

100 = SOLID RED, MIDDLE TO BOTTOM PITCH SHOT

50 = INTO HULA HOOP (ADD 1 PUTT) CHIP SHOT

50 = INTO CONE (ADD 0 PUTTS) CHIP SHOT

50 = WORM BURNER, stayed or hit ground firstMiss hit

*** ONCE DISTANCE = 0 (ZERO) TURN AND PUTT (UNLESS YOU MADE IT INTO HULA HOOP OR CONE)

# HITS + # PUTTS = TOTAL SCORE (for the hole)

NET WALL:

Elem : Volleyball (Flaghouse- “ballzac”) - WENDYBasic two square (instead of four square). Students start with toss and catch and then a

bounce with an underhand hit. Next students move on to try to move their partner right, left, forward and back. Then they can start with forearm passes.

MHS: Table tennis- velcro with tennis ball, badminton racquet JULIE (Ty)Play by the rules of table tennis.

MODIFICATIONS:- Type of ball- foam tennis ball, foam tennis ball attached to elastic string, regular tennis ball,

ping pong ball attached to elastic string- Type of paddle- official paddle, mesh paddle, handmade badminton racquet with panty hose

around frame.

INVASION:

Elem: Castle Ball (Hoops/Cups) KARLIStudents are divided into teams. Each team has a castle and 1 bowling pin. A castle is built

with 6 hula hoops. One at the bottom, two on each sides, and one of the top to keep it from falling. Inside the castle is the king (pin). Students earn 2 points for knocking down the king and 1 point for knocking down the castle. Each team is allowed to have castle builders; who protect and rebuild the castle when their castle is knocked over.

MODIFICATIONS:- Have teams stack cups and place a small ball in the middle to represent the castle and king- Limit the amount of castle builders - Student could carry their own ball to attack castles from a shorter distance

MHS : Floor Hockey JULIE (Karli)Play hockey with students having to stay in their “zones”. The offensive zones will be from the

centerline to goalie crease. Centers will be allowed to go from goalie crease to goalie crease. Defensive zones will be from centerline to their defensive goalie crease.

MODIFICATIONS : - Students with modified equipment (blue dust mop, dual blade hockey stick, black and white

hockey stick are called “sweepers”. The sweepers can move anywhere on the court. The sweeper may pass, shoot, or dribble. Cannot guard a sweeper.

- Puck- ball, yarn ball, bigger/ heavier puck (foam), lighter puck (plastic)

FITNESS:

Parachute Fitness WendyParachute fitness is a great way to get elementary students excited about different fitness

components (muscle strength, muscular endurance, cardiorespiratory endurance and flexibility). Warm up consists of utilizing different locomotor movements, moving to the right and left with the parachute. Small Waves (moving the parachute slow and controlled), Hurricane (moving the parachute quick and with power), Sit Ups (everyone is on the same cadence- up,down; up,down) , Switching Sit Ups (half of the class goes up while the other go down), Rowing (toes to belly button) are all fitness activities working different muscles!

MODIFICATIONS:- All students can participate in parachute/ parachute fitness. One modification may be the

speed of movement. Slowing down the speed is a solid choice because then we can talk about muscle contraction ;)

-Yoga TY-ANN

Equipment: mats, liquid mind music, speakerObjectives: Students will perform yoga skills that require practice of breathing, concentration, flexibility, and posture. Students will also be working on standard 1 (Demonstrates competency in motor skills and movement patterns needed to perform a variety of physical activities).

Outdoor Education:

Rock Climbing: JULIE (Karli)use mats/steppers under rock wall and attach pool noodles to go over/under while students place hands only on wall and feet on the mats.

Modification Regular

Orienteering: JULIE (Karli)Take pictures of classrooms that students would need to visit, safety items (exits signs, fire extinguishers), paintings on wall, water fountains… have students find the items in order, each stop has a letter, record the letter on the line (spells a word/ word of the week/ words used in PE- ELA) and time them. This can be used instead of an outdoor course with control markers. (due to wheelchairs or mobility issues)
