SETUP

Set the children up in a single line and use cones to create fitness stations in each corner of the room.  Place a gym mat on the ground if you do an exercise that requires this.

INSTRUCTIONS

1. On the instructor’s signal, the first kid in line runs to station 1 and performs 5 of the exercise the instructor would want them to do.  In our example, they are doing 5 lunges.

2. When complete, they go to station 2 and perform 5 of the next suggested exercise.  As they get to station 2, the next child in line begins at station 1.

3. This pattern will continue where the children go through the stations.

4. A child cannot go to the next station until the child in front of them is complete.

5. The instructor will time each team to see who gets the fastest score. Points can be deducted if children do not perform the skill properly due to rushing through an exercise.
