previously. They will be required to do different pathways and different
levels. When the music stops, I will yell out a body part(s). Students are

Recapping Movements
All students will line up on the end line, side by side. I will lead the
students through a series of different movements as the students move
from one end of the gym to the other. We will do different body levels
and pathways. This activity will help students to recap what each type of
movement looks like for the next activity.

Learning Activity #4

Watch students and make sure that movements are done properly.
Explain that this activity is not a race, but rather a way to practice
movements.

Create your own sequence

Students will now be given time to work on creating their own
movement sequence. This will be done in partners or in groups of 3.
Music will play throughout.
Explain that sequences must have:
3 different ways of moving
Body Level changes
2 different pathways
When students have had time to practice, bring students back in. Have a
few groups demonstrate their sequences.
