Overarm throw/striking for force

Students practice galloping. For this gross motor skills lesson, students review how to jump and hop using a jump-rope and hopscotch. The teacher shows the steps to gallop and they hold a noodle and pretend as if they are riding a horse. 

Students demonstrate proper overhand throwing techniques. They throw balls decorated like ghosts over a volleyball net, with each team trying to throw overhand as many ghosts into the other team's haunted house.

Young scholars practice proper throwing and catching activities, different locomotor activities and cooperative activities.

Rainy day schedule doesn't mean you can't stay fit! Use a collection of indoor physical activities during periods of inclement weather, substitute teaching days, or for those afternoons when your class just wants to move around!
