My students need relay race games like fitness training cones, Hot Potato game, beginner relay batons, 3 legged race bands, Egg and Spoon Relay Race Game, and Pancake Pile-up game for learning team sport rules, when playing outdoors.
This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Students
My students are in a Title I preschool and 100% of our students receive free lunch. Many of the students have a parent in the military. The children must meet at-risk criteria to attend this program. The criteria includes family income, identified disabilities, parent employment, and English proficiency.
I provide a creative classroom environment with materials in the learning centers that are empowering students through art.
I also provide science, technology, engineering, and math activities. I believe this will prepare all my students to be successful in kindergarten and beyond.
My Project
After watching the Winter Olympics my students were inspired to try more relay races. I would like to engage my student in more physical activities. They need to learn the rules of competition and sportsmanship. I believe outdoor sports gives children the opportunity to run, jump, climb, skip, throw and catch a ball and use those outdoor voices!
Every expert in anything was once a beginner.
For this project, I am requesting resources, they use for track and field, and relay races. The children will build skills for running, skipping, jumping, balance, and many other skills. The fitness training cones, Hot Potato game, beginner relay batons, 3 legged race bands, Egg and Spoon Relay Race Game, and Pancake Pile-up game will teach the children to identify what makes their performance effective, use strategies and tactics, apply rules and conventions, and taking part in challenges require precision and control. My hope is these resources will inspire them and help keep them active and physically fit during recess and in free choice time.
