Use cones to designate 8 station areas. You may copy and paste the visual cues included to hang at each station.

Demonstrate jump activities at each station.

Divide class into 8 groups and assign each group to one station. Provide 45 seconds for students to complete the jump challenge before signaling them to move on to the next station (rotate in order). In between stations, ask students to participate in a one minute flexibility exercise to provide rest time between jumping stations.

Play energetic music during stations!
