WEEK 34: THE DUEL & FINISH TESTING

Third through fifth grades have completed their fitness tests. Some make up testing will be done this week for these grades but classes will study tournament play and brackets this week while performing the activity "THE DUEL." Students will be taught how a tournament is set up and write their own names into a tournament bracket as it progresses toward a champion. The Duel is a one on one tug of war game that combines strategy and balance. Students stand on a platform about 5 feet apart holding the end of a 12 foot rope. On the signal each student will try to make the other fall off their platform while remaining on their own. Don't forget to keep hold on the rope, if you let go you are finished.

Kindergarten through second will complete their final fitness test this week!
