Suggested Grade Level: 3-5

Materials Needed: 1 hoop per child, fitness task cards, 3 large foam dice, aerobic music.

Description of Idea

Scatter hoops around activity area with fitness cards inside hoops. While music is playing, students will move around the gym performing the locomotor movement of their choice. When the music stops, each student goes to a hoop and reads the fitness card. Three students are selected to roll the dice. One die has math operation symbols on it, while the other two die have numbers on them. Whatever math problem comes up on the dice, students will perform the activity listed on the fitness card that number of times. Example: 1 + 1 = 2 student will perform 2 line jumps.

Before leaving their hoop, students will turn the fitness card over, and begin locomotor movement again. This is a non-stop activity, so rest breaks will need to be included. Some examples of fitness cards: line jumps, jumping jacks and jills, crunches, mountain climbers, jump over hoop, hop on each foot, etc.
