Name of Activity:

NFL Warm Up with Timer

Purpose of Activity:

To excite students about fitness using each team of the NFL.

Suggested Grade Level:

3-5

Materials Needed:

Laptop, projection screen or Smartboard.
NFL Workout PowerPoint
NFL Workout PDF
NFL Workout Updated (PowerPoint, 2-1-21)

Description of Idea

When students enter the activity area ask them to get into a good self space and to look at the screen. This powerpoint has every NFL team and next to the team it has an exercise for them to perform. When the exercise is displayed they need to perform that exercise for the length of time the slide is displayed on the screen. Therefore you will have to set the powerpoint to different lengths if you want it to stay on that slide longer. Or you can manually change the slide.

I use this during my fitness units but it can be done any time during the year and you could create these for other professional leagues or colleges or other sports.

The kids get excited seeing their favorite teams and players while exercising.

Great idea...What happened to the Carolina Panthers?

So fun! After working out with the PowerPoint, I had my students design their own class workout. A group of 4 was given a NFL team and they decided on a exercise. Put them all together...voila! Then I combined all the exercises into one workout to be used by my 3rd and 4th graders. We did include cardio, flexibility, and strength activities.
