Sample Activities:

 

·        MOVEMENT MATCH GAME - Create a series of cards with various movement skills and concepts illustrated or written on them. Divide the class into several small groups, and distribute the cards. Students organize their cards into specific groupings (e.g., all locomotor skills, all manipulative skills). After each group has organized its cards, they consult with another group, compare cards, and match. After all cards are matched, each student selects a card at random and demonstrates the skill.

 

      Variation: Create large posters naming and illustrating a specific activity, such as soccer, baseball, or basketball. Students match the poster with a card illustrating the corresponding activity (e.g., run with soccer, dribble with basketball, catch with baseball).
