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.
