Week 2: Sept. 2-6

IA Name: Builders and Bulldozers

Grade Level: 2nd and Up

Equipment: Cones for boundaries, pinnies to designate groups

Directions:

After randomly setting cones (these cones should be light so they are easily knocked over) throughout the playing area explain to the students that there will be two groups moving around the general space during this activity. One group, the Bulldozers, will wear pinnies and their job is to go around tipping over as many buildings (cones) as they can.

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.

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

Caution: 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.
