I can do something can
you?
 |
The coach begins the
activity by saying "I can do something can you?" and demonstrating a
physical activity such as jumping jacks. The children then do the
same. The coach demonstrations several other physical activities
such as: skips, one-legged bounces; star jumps, rolls, etc. After
demonstrating several times the coach asked the children, "what can
you do?" and takes their suggestions. |
Body movement from
skipping to balancing on one leg. The important thing is to allow
the children to explore how their body moves. |

Snake in the Grass
|
In an area 15 yds x 15
yds, two children begin by being "snakes" by lying on their
stomachs. The other children’s starting position is with their hands
touching the "snakes." On the command "snake in the grass" the
children try to stay away from the snake while the snake slithers
around trying to catch a child. When any child is caught he/she
becomes an additional snake. The activity continues until every one
is a snake. |
The children move in
all directions trying to avoid the snakes. Once snakes, the children
try to work together to create more snakes. |
