Check for Understanding:
Call on 3-5 students to answer/demonstrate:
- What was a skill they needed to use in the relay race today?
- What was one thing their team did well in the race?
- Which partner challenge was their favorite and why?
Celebratory Closure:
Share that you are excited to move more with them next time and excited to see them use a variety of skills to cooperate and challenge themselves! Call out in a celebratory voice, and students repeat after each line.
- Say (repeating terms slowly): Repeat after me.
- B-E-S-T
- I want to be the best I can be!
Homework:
Ask students to try some of the partner challenges with a family member or friend at home. Encourage students to continue practicing the relay race with friends at recess time.
