The students learned that physical fitness is based on an investment of time and effort.
Each class had lots of fun playing games that involved plenty of movement. They now understand that if they continue pursuing similar activities, over time, they will see an improvement in their physical stamina. The Three Bears was a running game the kindergarten and first graders enjoyed. As Goldilocks, they anxiously awaited the signal of Papa Bear to run to the other side of the gym! Those who were tagged loved playing the role of Mama, Baby or Papa Bear. The second and third graders were quite active in the game Spiders and Flies. One student was the fly, in the middle, with his/her eyes closed. The spider popped up when he/she thought it was a good time to catch some fly food! All other students were the flies and tried to outrun the spider to a baseline. The anticipation of when the fly would pop up added a great deal of excitement to the game! Finally, the fourth and fifth graders played Ultimate Frisbee. This involved running up and down to the goal lines and quickly passing the frisbee to teammates. Their offensive and defensive skills improved, along with their development of physical fitness.
