Space the mats within the boundaries (for example, the basketball boundary lines) set for physical activity, with enough space between them for safe movement. At one end of each mat place a laminated picture of different skills students have previously been taught. Examples include skills such as the forward rocker, bunny jump, frog jump, forward roll, egg roll, log roll, pencil roll, backward roll, mule kick, and backward rocker.

Explain to the class that when the music plays they are to travel
through general space all around the boundaried area (without touching the mats) by skipping (galloping, etc.). When the music stops they are to get into groups of no more than 3 behind each mat. Then they are to read the card and perform the skill one person at a time on the mat. Allow enough time for the students to do each skill once or twice before starting the music again. Also, encourage students to go to a different mat each time as well as being a new group each time. While students are performing
skills at the different mats, observe to see that they are performing the skills correctly and safely.
