Name of Activity: Peek-A-"Boo"

Suggested Grade Level: 3 - 5

Materials Needed: Poly spots, Halloween pictures, task posters

Description of Idea

Spread 40 poly spots out around gym. Hidden underneath most poly spots are index cards with Halloween pictures on them. The pictures used were: spider, witch, ghost, black cat, scarecrow, pumpkin and skeleton.

On the gym walls are pictures of these items with an exercise task written underneath. On "Go!", the students begin by going to a polyspot and looking underneath for a pictured index card. When they find one, they put it back under the polyspot and then go to the wall where the picture is located. They then proceed to do the exercise listed for that Halloween picture.

When they finish the exercise, they go find another poly spot to turn over. This continues for as long as you want it to.

Variations:

Use other holiday themes for your pictures as the school year goes on; Thanksgiving, Valentines, etc

Teaching Suggestions:

If you put letters under the polyspots, the younger students will learn letter recognition faster. The exercise tasks can be tailored to suit any age and maturity level.
