Skipping
the Night Away - Outcome A (4-6)-13
Jumping rope is a great warmup activity.
Students find a personal space and practice some
skipping rope movements such as single jumps, double jumps, backwards,
"pepper", one foot then the other foot, and other tricks
depending on their ability levels.
|
Students can try to put their movements
together to create a routine. Teacher guidance in choosing
the criteria for each routine is often appreciated.
For example, all routines could include:
- Two foot action
- One foot action
- Movement action
(moving forward, backward, diagonally,
sideways)
- Action with feet
apart
- One action with
feet or arms crossed.
