Index: 2.6C Grade 4 CPI 2
Standard: 2.6 - Fitness
Strand: C - Achieving and Assessing Fitness
Cumulative Progress Indicator: 2 - The student will maintain continuous aerobic activity for a specified time period.
Grade: 4
Sample Activities:
· PACE YOURSELF - Explain that students need to learn how to pace themselves, that is, to exercise at the right speed, so they can last the entire 30 minutes without quitting. To experience this concept, design a simple circular running area, about 200 yards in length. Students run continuously for a specific time around the course (four to five minutes). Students may run with friends. Every time a student passes the starting point, hand him/her a popsicle stick or poker chip. At the end of the designated time, each student counts the number of sticks or chips. Allow a rest period and then repeat the exercise. The goal is to receive the same amount of sticks or chips on the second run as on the first. After all students have completed the second run, discuss the results and emphasize pacing.
