Is that pretty cool? “yes”, but I need a little bit of help to get our fun equipment out of here today and we are actually going to start with our jump rope. Ashley, can you come up? Come on up, alright and, and Robin can you come on up? We have jump ropes in here could you give each group a color jump rope.

Okay next one is if its too hard to do you can jump feet like this. Ready, just like the jump rope, what were learning right now is only 15 seconds, okay, and then it says freeze well the music stops, so what do you do? “freeze”. I loved that. Freeze just like this, great job.
Okay, got to the outside line, this is a long jump, so back to the outside line and jump. Here jump rope, let me see your jump rope. Ready and go. Keep going, keep going.
On the outside, when the music is on you are going to jog on the outside line, when the music stops you’re going to walk, when the music is on you are going to jog again. Ready, nice and easy jog. And breathe, and if you are in the outside fitness you are going to jump rope you’re on the outside. Ready? Rotate. Ready go, come on. Stay on the circle, and now you’re walking. Now sit by your lane, alright.

Kim Wilson-Daum –
I like the fact that the activities are arranged in a circle so that everyone is able to see everyone else participating. The center of the circle allows the teacher to be the center of attention during the delivery of instructions. Circles within circles provides a good flow of activities, keeping everyone engaged. The set up gives defined areas in which to stay during activities, and the stations are clearly marked. Each activity is approximately 15 seconds in duration, which helps to keep the student’s interest. Looks like it would be good for a class of about 25-30.
