Name of Activity: Builders and Bulldozers

Suggested Grade Level: 2nd and Up

Materials Needed: Cones for boundaries, pinnies to designate groups

Description of Idea

The Builders are to rebuild the fallen cones by standing the fallen cones back up. All students will have to travel from cone to cone using a pre-determined locomotor movement (walk, hop, jump, etc.). Have the students switch groups midway through the instant activity.

Variations:

Have the Bulldozers knock down the cones with different body parts (e.g. knees, toes, hips, etc.).

Teaching Suggestions:

Please have students walk in general space before trying to run and do this activity. As you see them get more adept at moving through space then you can add more difficult locomotor movements like skipping, sliding, and/or skipping.
