Check for Understanding:
Call on 3-5 students to answer/demonstrate:

- How did they cooperate with a partner today? (Various answers)
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.
