Pedometers
Day 1:
- Students introduced to pedometers
- Set at 2.00 Stride
- Reset to 0
- Do one lap outside and check pedometers
- To Determine
stride length (4th/5th)
- Mark off a 100 foot distance
- Students jog the distance and count their steps
- Divide 100 by the number of steps taken
- 100 feet divided by 40 equals a stride length of 2.5 feet
Day 2 Pedometer Predictions:
Guess and Check: Before beginning activites today students will make predictions on how many steps they will take during the entire class period.
- How many steps for one lap around the school?
- How many steps during a game?
- How many steps total during class today?
Fanatical Football:
- Split Class into four teams so that teams are smaller and you can have two games going.
- Two Teams with different jersey colors.
- Team A kicks off to Team B.
- Team B attempts to move the ball to the opposing end zone.
- When a player is tagged, they must stop and immediately become the new quarterback.
- The quarterback cannot be rushed and cannot move more than three steps.
- Once a pass is completed, the receiver can run with the ball until tagged.
- The receiver immediately becomes the quarterback.
- If team B scores, they immediately turn and kickoff.
- If team A intercepts, the interceptor immediately becomes the quarterback.
- If team B makes an incomplete pass, the member of team A closest to the ball becomes the quarterback.
