Have the students get into groups of three to four, depending on the size of the class. Have each group locate at a place on the wall of the gym. This is where their hula hoop will be. This hula hoop will represent their checking account.

In the center of the gym there will be a bank that is represented by a bunch of different color bean bags spread out. Each color bean bag represents a different amount of money (i.e. purple=1 cent, blue=5 cents, yellow=10 cents, red=25 cents, and green=1 dollar).

When the teacher says "go", the students will all move at once to perform a designated locomotor movement to retrieve a bean bag one at a time to place in their checking account (gallop backwards, skip, jump sideways). Once they get the bean bag, they have to bring it back and place it in the hula hoop.

Have different locomotor skills be worth additional money. i.e., dribbling a basketball while galloping, balancing a beanbag on your head, rolling sideways.

If beanbags are to represent money then the amounts could be written on the beanbags or "play money" of some sort could be used (maybe laminated, large photos or drawing of coins?)

Students can learn the value of the money by "spending" it on pretend items (i.e., items their parents purchase frequently at the store, rent, taxes, etc.)

Have the students repeat what color represents what amount of money (cognitive). Have students perform locomotor movements before the whole class performs the movements. Visually assess if they are performing the movement correctly. Ask what subject was emphasized other then PE.
