Muscle Mania Task Cards |
There are two cards for every task.
Each student must first find their partner
by searching for the person who is performing the same stretch
as outlined on their card.
The students then create a new stretch
for the muscle group that is identified on their card. For
illustrations of other stretches, see attached PDF file.

Whole Body Stretching Routine |
Give the students enough time to create the
activity, and then use it as a warmup after a brief cardio component.
Or, use it as a cool down after the lesson.
Students can independently create a stretch without
the pairing up activity.
Have the students form groups of five, design
five different stretches and connect them as a routine.
These are clues that you have reached the outcomes
