TRAIN TRACKS

TRAIN TRACKS

LEARNING OUTCOME

  • Travels demonstrating a variety of relationships with objects
  • Shares equipment and space with others

STUDENT TARGETS

Skill: I will travel safely within the activity area moving around my teammates as we “move our train.”
Cognitive: I will be able to explain what sharing and cooperation mean during group discussion.
Fitness: I will actively participate in physical education while following class rules and protocols.
Personal & Social Responsibility: I will work independently with my teammates with no more than one rule reminder from the teacher.

TEACHING CUES

  • Pass
  • Travel Around
  • Sit

ACTIVITY SET-UP & PROCEDURE

Equipment:

  • 1 beanbag per group of 5 or 6 students
  • 2 cones per group of 5 or 6 students

Set-Up:

  • Using cones, form 2 parallel lines approximately 20 feet apart. Number the cones across from each other 1 and 2.
  • Send groups of 5 or 6 students to a set of cones with 1 beanbag for the group.
  • Each group sits side-by-side in a single file between cones 1 and 2, starting next to the cone number 1.
  • The beanbag begins with the student closest to cone 1.

Activity Procedures:

  • It’s time to send the train down the tracks!
  • On “Go”, the student with the beanbag will pass it to the next person. As soon as the pass is made, that student will get up and walk quickly to sit at the other end of the line. This sequence continues until the
    line makes it to the other end of the area and a student sits next to cone number 2.
  • At cone number 2, tap the beanbag to the cone and then use the same process to send it back down
    the tracks toward cone number 1. Continue until you hear the stop signal.
