Introduction

Begin class with a warm up procedure: ● Prepare students with daily expectations before entering the gym OR on Home Base. ● Warm up procedure may include several laps around the gym, stretching routine, or another quick, movement based activity. ● Back at Home Base, review rules/expectations of the school and

PE/Playworks with explicit examples when appropriate. ● Review any other specific reminders needed for the day.

Before releasing students for the first game, use a Sequence Touch to get them to the location you need them to be for the first activity.

Short Rope Practice

Show How How to Play:

● Each student will receive a short jump rope and find an empty space across the gym. ● Before beginning to jump, they must look around to make sure other students won’t get hit with their jump rope. ● Students will practice basic jump roping skills while staying in their own area.
