When students are lined up, quiet, and showing body control…

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 team 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.
