This activity uses a large variety of equipment. Please see each station to see what equipment is necessary.Description of Idea
Each of the eleven stations is set up around the gym. Each station has a sign with the title (and picture of the cover, if possible) of a Dr. Seuss book and the words and/or a picture showing what to do at that station. (It may be necessary to use your imagination to see how the title of the book and the activity/equipment go together.) Due to the large number of stations being used, it may be helpful to have parent or other volunteers help students know what to do when they come to each station. Music may be played during which students can perform the skills at each station; when the music stops, they clean up their station, point to the next one, and move the music once again begins.
1) "Hop on Pop": Hopscotch mat, hula hoops taped together, or poly spots put down to form a hopscotch pattern. Activity: At this station, students use their jumping and hopping skills to complete the hopscotch.
2) "The Cat in the Hat": Playground balls and basketball hoop. Activity: At this station, students attempt to throw the cat (ball) into the hat (hoop).
