Sample Activities:

 

·        FIT TAG - For this activity, create five fitness cards. On one side of the card, write the name of one of the health-related fitness components and on the other side, a related activity (e.g., cardiorespiratory endurance: jog two laps). Select five students to be “it” and give each one a fitness card. These students must tag a student who does not have a card. When a student is tagged, he/she takes the fitness card and completes the health-related fitness activity on it. Now that student becomes a tagger and repeats the process. Students cannot tag the student who tagged them. Conclude the activity
by asking students to name the five components and to describe activities that develop fitness in that area.

Variation: At the end of the tag game, each student holding a card must name the fitness component and describe an activity that enhances that component. The activity cannot be the one listed on the card.
