Instructional Ideas

  • Activities can be adapted to meet students' IEP goals
  • Let children choose their favorite songs to listen to while exercising

Classroom Considerations

  • Make sure there is plenty of room for each activity station
  • The timer should be easily visible or audible for all players 
  • Not all schools participate in the S'cool Moves curriculum mentioned in resource
  • Intended for groups of up to six children, each with their own 1-on-1 instructional aide

Pros

  • The four stations allow for multiple skills to be practiced in a single lesson
  • Includes a map with suggestions for organizing the different activity stations 

Cons

  • Lesson does not offer modifications addressing specific types of disabilities students may have
