Cardio Spelling

Get your heart pumping while practicing spelling! For grades 2 and up.

Grade Level:

2nd grade and up

Equipment:

• Poly Spots (Enough to put four spots with four students) (21026-PS)
• Spelling Words on Cards/sheets
• The Zone™ Dry Erase Boards (21202-PS)
• Dry Erase Markers
• Dry Eraser
• 6 Sports Health™ Nexus Hurdles (16720-PS)
• 6 The Zone™ Exer-Dice (16982-PS)
• 6 balls to plank over
• A to Z Poly Spots (70061-PS)

How to Play:

• Split students into groups of four
• At the start of each lane (group), the first student will start on their poly spot
• The 2nd, 3rd, and 4th students will be spaced out along the gym floor on their poly spot. Each spot has a different exercise/activity.
• To start, the students on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th poly spots start exercising. The teacher will give student 1 the spelling word; they look at the word and put it on the ground.
• Person 1 jogs to Person 2 and tells them the first letter of the spelling word, person 2 jogs to person 3 and tells them the letter and person 3 jogs to person 4 and tells them the letter. Person 4 then writes the letter down on the dry erase board (kind of like old school spelling).
• Once each person is told the letter, they do that exercise until they are visited again with the next letter
• After person four writes down the letter, they head back to the beginning to get the next letter and the process begins again. This occurs until the entire word is written.

 
Adaptation:
Do the entire word instead of each letter, instead of running to the next spot, do a locomotor movement, give several exercises at each spot.

Description of Game:

Each team of 2-4 students starts on a station. While the first person ( or more depending on the size of team) does the first activity at the station, their teammates are doing the second task. Once the partner(s) have completed the task to the cone and back, they high 5 one another and then switch and complete the other task. When all tasks have been completed at the station the players will go and get a travel card and complete the task together. Once they have completed all 7 tasks and 6 travel cards they are finished and should step to the podium with their teacher. Students can start at any station and rotate to any station in any order. They must complete a travel card before starting a new station. If students are not performing their stations with integrity they can be given a “Detour Card” which will slow them down. This will either have them start over that station or have them perform an additional task.
