Kdg.- 2nd GradersKindergarteners learned how to jump using a self turned rope this week. We practice the grip, the swing, and talked about keeping the rope going continuously! (easier said than done!) They worked on jumping each day for about 5 minutes at the beginning and end of class to avoid frustration. We worked on using two feet to jump over a long rope, and used various jumping materials to help us practice (skip its, mini hurdles, hula hoops, etc.) First and Second graders were able to participate in Jump Rope Ninja like the older kids. They are just learning so their goals were much lower! The last portion of the week, we played, "Roll with It". Students were divided into two teams. Players from each team would run to their hula hoop to challenge the other team. Both students would roll and dice. The higher number won, and went to move a ball to try and win the game, the other student practiced that many jumps. I liked this game because it was such good practice, and they never had to do more than 6 jumps at a time! 3rd-5th GradersTo start off the week, we participated in Jump Rope Ninja. Students are in a group of three and take turns counting the number of jumps they can do in a row. If they make it to the next number/colored belt they get to sign their name on the poster. This is a great activity because it challenges all levels, the more skilled students tried to work towards and new goal, and the less skilled students had an entire class period to practice. (So important as they cannot do it outside with these negative temps!) Check out some of the posters below! If students made it to black belt, they received a homeade Black Belt Jump Rope Ninja Bookmark! The last half of the week we began Tinikling. Tinkiling is a Phillipine Jumping Dance! We have the jump bands instead of poles so their hearts were pounding! Check out the GIF below!
