FOCUS SKILLS

WEEK 37 & 38

VERTICAL WALL

RUN & CART

GAME IDEA

You can play ninja hoops! Set out 6 (or more if you are playing with a couple of classes) hula hoops. Have the ninjas run around through them, and you can count down (or, as I prefer, sing or hum a sweet song) And the ninjas have to stop in a hoop when you are done. Take away one hoop each time so that ninjas can stand in circles with other kids. Once it’s down to one round, see if you can lift the ring up and over them while they stand-in

the middle!

PROPS

You can use rings, carpet squares, or chalk lines to work on stretching out their carts! Long carts mean long muscles, and long muscles are strong muscles!

FLOOR

BAR

BEAM

TRAMPOLINE

KICKS, ETC.

SAFETY TIP

Never try to run up the wall with a straight leg! You can hurt your knee (hyperextend) this way! Remember to run up the wall like it is a ramp!
