Name of Activity: Fruit Loops Kicking

Purpose of Activity: To help students learn about the importance of keeping a soccer ball on the ground when kicking with the inside of the foot.

Activity cues: To reinforce using the 'inside of foot' and not kicking the rings up into the air. The rings should always slide across the floor.

Prerequisites: kicking skills, knowledge of a variety of exercises.

Suggested Grade Level: 3 - 5

Materials Needed: Deck rings of various colors. I would suggest one ring for every 4 or 5 students.

Description of Idea

Spread the deck rings throughout the gym floor area. The different colored rings look like "fruit loops" laying on the ground.

On go signal (or music start) have the students move throughout the general space kicking the rings with inside of foot to slide across the floor. The goal is to try and hit someone's foot/feet with the ring while avoiding having your's hit.

If hit with a ring, that student performs 10 reps of previously determined (or student choice) exercise before rejoining the game.

Variations:

Determine different exercises for each color of ring (i.e., red = curl ups; green = push ups; yellow = run a lap)

Teaching Suggestions:

Add more rings as the students improve if a challenge is needed.
