Kdg.-2nd GradersWe were busy this week working our our rolling skills! In the beginning of the week, we played "Roll and Score." The students were divided up into different teams, and the goal was for them to roll a ball and have it land in one of the hoops that were spread out over the whole gym. If they were successful, they ran down and put their hoops around the cone. If they were unsuccessful, they ran down and arouund the hoop anyway and went back to try again. I was really proud of how well some of our emeralds were working together and showing their teamwork abilities. At the end of the week, we played, "Pin Shuffle." The students were paired up with another student and were on opposite sides of the gym. The pins were all along the center. Partners took turns rolling the ball, and if they knocked their pin over, they moved the pin one cone closer to them. Some of the kids were in quite a battle with their partner going back and forth! 3rd- 5th GradersWe had a ball at the beginning of the week working our our bowling abilities in the game, "Pin Down." Half of the gym had hula hoops with a pin in them. Half of the student started in the pins, and half started in the feeding line. Foam balls were scattered out around the gym. The students had to try and protect their pin from all angles, all while trying to roll the balls to knock down another students pin. If the pin was knocked over they would yell, "pin down" and the would go to the feeder line and the next person would fill their spot. This game went so quickly students weren't out for long. They liked it because they could see the dodgeball component, and I liked it because it wasn't like dodgeball where students were targets, the pins were! At the end of the week, the students played, "Cardio Bowling." In cardio bowling a team of 3 or 4 was formed. One person was the bowler, one person was the retriever, and one person was on deck. It moved quickly and was perfect for getting the kids active and moving in a sport that typically lacks that.
