February 23, 2012- Fitness Marathon

The fitness marathon is a great way to get children experience with many different activities in a short amount of time.  This also assumes that the students understand what all activities mean.  Basically you write out a list of activities for the students to do.  They do these activities with a partner.  When their partner and them finish, they sign their name on each other's sheet.  This will keep students accountable, and also help them interact with every student in the class.

EXAMPLE:
30 sit ups
30 push ups
100 jumping jacks
Throw and catch a ball 25 times
Touch all 4 gymnasium walls
20 mountain climbers
40 squats
25 forward-backward line jumps
25 side to side line jumps
hula hoop 20 times
jump rope 100 times
give your teacher a high five
plank as long as you can, now try again


You can add or subtract any activities.  The goal is to just keep the students active and interacting with others.  You choose the activities and the amount of work each student does.  Make it your own!!!

AGES: 3rd grade and up
