Objective:
To develop cardiovascular fitness.
Divide
class into two teams.
Use
the square on the gym floor.
Line
half of one team on a line in the middle of the gymnasium.
Half
of the opposing team “tribe” will be on the outside of the square.
When
the music begins students will be timed for two minutes.
The
tribe in the square will jump or hopping back and forth over the line, they may
do it sideways or forward back motion. If a student stops jumping or hopping
they must sit down.
The
“tribe” on the outside of the square will jog around the square for the two
minutes. If a tribe member stops running they must sit down.
The
teams “tribes” will receive points for each person standing at the end of two
minutes.
The
students will switch with the jumpers becoming the joggers and the joggers
becoming the jumpers.
Repeat
the two minute sessions rotating groups in and out.
Total
up the survivors to see who won.
*You
may divide the teams up into two to allow for a rest station for two minutes
and they can cheer their tribe members.
*Suggested
music: Theme song to “Survivor”
I’m a Survivor
Destiny
Child’s Survivor
Alternatives:
*Groups
on the middle line must keep hopping while in line, one at a time shooting lay
ups. For each lay up scored an additional point for that tribe is received.
*Groups
in the middle may do volleyball sets to try and score a basket. Each point scored
is added to tribes’ total points.
*Groups
in the middle could jump rope and not stop for more than three seconds during
the two minute interval.
*Choices
are unlimited depending on what section of the curriculum you are working on.
