Forum K - 12 Schools Forum: Re: Primary School K-6 Sequences

I am currently working on a sequence about fitness for Primary school kids. It is currently a mix of fitness knowledge tasks combined with running around the class room looking for certain objects.

I was wondering if anyone had any good ideas for an activity that either stimulates thought about exercise or even a task that can be done in a class room environment as I am not so sure what is a realistic expectation for year 5/6 in terms of fitness knowledge and/or if running tasks in classrooms should be avoided.

So far I have

1 multiple choice activity about fitness and exercise
2 go and fetch an particular object activities,
1 search the web for a sight about kids exercise and report the name of it.
1 Q&A activity about what sorts of unorganised activities kids can do

Any suggestions would be welcome.

Thanks
