Warm- Up

The students will start off with jogging two laps around the gym to get their blood
flowing. Then, they will do stretches to prepare the muscles for the physical
activity they are going to endure.

Buzzer Beater Bowling

Rules: Players are each given 3-5 pins and a foam ball. Players set up their
pins on a line that is 10-15 feet from their opponent’s line.Players decide who
will start by playing “rock-paper-scissors”. Without crossing the line upon
which their pins are placed, the first player rolls their ball in an attempt to
knock down their opponents pins. Players alternate taking turns attempting to
knock down their opponent’s pins. The goal of the game is to knock down all
of your opponent’s pins before they knock down all of yours.

Key skills developed: Movement and Aiming

Time required: 10 minutes

Equipment: Bowling pins, balls

crabs. Play until there are only a few or maybe even one player left.

along the basketball court's out-of-bounds line and across the half-court line. Group a bunch
of balls and other objects such as cones in the middle of the court directly in the middle of all
the children. No one can get up off their butts. You must clear all the "space debris" out of the
center of the gym and collect it on the sides. The balls must be used to move all the debris.
The mission is accomplished and everyone wins when everything is cleared out. Choose one
"space cadet" to throw the first ball and tell them to pick a number between 1 and 20 to
choose the person who starts. Give the cadet the ball.

line with their knees bent and keep a hold of the ankles of the person behind
them. Mark a finish line and once the whistle is blown, teams must scoot along,

representative of each group runs to draw a card and returns to the team where
