Activities

Guided Running

Clap in Time
Children practise walking together in time with a partner.

Dream Team
In pairs, one child is the guide and the second child places their hand on their partner鈥檚 arm or shoulder and closes their eyes as the guide walks them down the room, turns, and walks back again.

Shot Put

Over the Line
Julie demonstrates how to throw a shot with a push.

Javelin

Julie shows how you throw the javelin differently to a shot. For shot put you need a push to throw the shot, whereas you need a back swing and a push to throw the javelin.

Rocket Throw
In this activity the children throw foam rockets instead of javelins, using the technique that Julie demonstrates. The children aim their rockets into a planet world of hoops. Then to make the activity more difficult, they aim for another group of planets beyond the planet world 鈥 into smaller hoops.
