a. Human Alphabet
i. We are going to play a game called Human Alphabet to start. I hope you guys
know your alphabet. When I say “GO” everyone is going to start moving around
in the space (choose a locomotion: run, skip, gallop, etc) and when I call out a
letter the students must hurry to get down on the floor and use their bodies to
make the shape of the letter. Then get them moving again and call out another
letter. And again. And again!

6. Fitness Development
a. Yum, Yum, Yum - The objective of this activity is to identify healthy and unhealthy
foods. I’m going to call out different foods. We’re going to start by skipping, but when
you hear a healthy food, you’re going to run and holler, “Yum, Yum, Yum!” then skip
again. When you hear an unhealthy food, get in plank position and holler, “Not good, not
good!”
Healthy foods – apples, milk, carrots, oranges, oatmeal, bread, eggs, strawberries
Unhealthy foods – pizza, popcorn, candy, ice cream, chocolate, chips, French fries,

Make sure you are looking forward when you are running and skipping.
Please don’t run into anybody!
