Learning Outcome

To help students to practice their foot agility and body control.

Activity Description

Divide the class equally depending upon the number of stations you have (keep numbers to 2 or 3) and assign them a starting station. Moving in a clockwise rotation around the room, have students read the card and perform that skill through the agility ladder. When they have finished have the group move to the next ladder, read the card, and do the next skill through that particular ladder. Continue around the room until they have finished all stations.
Rules: Wait until the player in front of you is halfway through the ladder before you “GO.” Do not pass!
Station Cards:
Kangaroo Jump – jump with both feet in each ladder space.
Flamingo Hop – hop on the same foot through the ladder.
Hip Hop – hop on one foot into the first ladder space, hop on the other into the next space – alternate feet.
Slide-facing sideways move the leading foot into space, the second foot follows into the same space then move the leading foot into the next space.
Hopscotch – hop on one foot into the first ladder space, in the next ladder space land on two feet spread apart (straddle), hop on one foot in the next space. Repeat this hop/jump pattern until you complete the ladder.
Horse – use a gallop – place the leading foot in the first space, follow with the other foot into the same space.
