Put the wall posters and activity posters around the perimeter of the gym on the walls with 2 cups or buckets under each one.
How to Play:
Each student or partner duo starts at a poster. They choose a stick out of the cup. They read the equation, run to the poster with the correct answer, deposit it into the bucket, do the exercise or activity, and take a new stick out of the other bucket. They repeat this pattern until the activity ends.
