DPA - Sample Games by Division & Location

Safety Considerations

• Make sure the floor is free of any obstructions.
• Students may need to spread out or move their desks to the side of the room to create open space in the centre.

Instructions

• Choose one student to be the leader.
• The leader does a series of fitness activities.  (Students can create their own activities on the spot or use sample activities you have placed on the board.)  Provide at least 10 options to add variety to the activity. 
• The class follows; doing the fitness activity previous to the one the leader is currently showing.  Therefore, the class is always one step behind the leader.  For example, the leader does jumping jacks and the class watches. The leader changes to sky punches and the class does jumping jacks. The leader then changes to twist jumps and the class does sky punches.
• Have the leaders perform each activity 10 times or for 10 seconds (depending on the activity).
• Other examples of activities are:  Speed bags, jump up and then touch toes, squats, lunges, front kicks or “can-can” kicks (have students spread apart to do this), pretend skipping on the spot, etc.

Accommodations/Modifications

• After the leader does five to seven activities, switch leaders. This can be based on whose name comes next in the alphabet or who is next in the seating chart, etc.
