WEEK 4: THROWING / BODY ID


2nd - 5th grades
A...Students will stretch and star run with a "long run of 2:20". Upon return, students will make seven groups and do the "Muscle PreTest". Next, Students in 3rd - 5th that received an A last week on their throw will play "Battleball", a wild target throwing game with two teams on different sides of the court and lots and lots of tragets to throw at on the opposing side. Work with the non-A students will result in inclusion in the game with a little extra practice. Students in 2nd grade will practice throwing in lines designed by skill level and help will be given to students that did not get an A on the throw.
B...Stretching will be followed by a "no walk/stop long run". Students will return to their lines and work together to think of the 12 muscles we study and report to the teacher for a line point. 4th and 5th grades will begin Battleball and 2nd and 3rd grades will partner throw before starting Battleball.
K - 1st grades
A...We will start with our stretches and again practice locomotor movements with the "Freeze Game". Students will grab a partner, not hard of course, and will be challenged to touch body parts together when that part is called. The called parts will get more complicated including two or three different parts touching. We will throw in a new twist, and when "Scramble" is called students will have to switch partners.
B...Stretches will start class and we will really get serious about teaching students to go "Around" cones, in the fashion of a lap. We will try different types of runs trying to work up to a "Lap". Will will play "Freeze" one more time and then sit on our own spot, spread out on the court. Students will be shown large flash cards with body parts shown and students must figure out how to put only those parts on the floor. Students must have good balance and be thinking! We will end with a beanbag and balnce it on certain body parts!
