GROUP SIZE

EQUIPMENT

Cones, jump ropes, hula hoops, music

SETUP

Place your class into 6 groups and set up fitness stations around your room.  Place a cone by each station with an index card attached to it that has a description of the station written on it.  Place any equipment you need for each station by the cone.

INSTRUCTIONS

1. When the music starts, the children should be performing various exercises at each station.

2. In our model, we used jumping rope, crab walking, jumping jacks, bear crawls, hula hooping and push-ups.  But, use exercises you are comfortable using.

3. After a few minutes, the teacher should stop the music and the children rotate clockwise to the next station.

4. Once every group has been to each station, do a freedom round where children can pick and choose where they want to go so they can socialize with friends while they exercise.


Make it Easier: 

Shorten the amount of time at each station.

Make it Harder:

Increase the amount of time at each station.
