SKILL 2 – Shooting Game: 10 Minutes
SET-UP: Starting pancake --> hurdle --> witches hat hat --> 3 cones --> shooting pancake
Explain the entire game then explain it again by quizzing the children to reinforce memory. e.g. What do I do here?
Make sure there is a pancake for each child to STAND ON while they wait their turn.
1. The child jumps over the hurdle, runs around the witches hat in front of them, snake runs through the 3 cones, and takes a shot from the shooting pancake.
No variation, each child has 2 turns.
Finish with the stretching routine:
- One leg
- Other leg
- Double Leg
