Instant Activity

Have your students get into groups of three. Within each group the students need to number off 1, 2, and 3. When this is finished have the students get 1 basketball, 1 hula hoop, 1 jump rope, and 1 sheet with the activities on it. Have the students find a spot on the outer part of the gym where they need sit down with their equipment inside the hula hoop.

The teacher then explains the "Marathon" sequence. The students will perform only the activities on the sheet that correspond with the number they are. Example: The entire group runs 1 lap of the gym, then 2 dribbles a basketball 50 times, 1 does 10 tuck jumps, etc. Only one person will be at an activity at a time unless everyone is behind the activity.
