Today we're going to focus on ball skills. Can you do each skill 10 times with a ball (or a 'sock ball' if you don't have a ball)?
Toss and Try
With ball in personal space:
Bounce the ball and catch it.
Toss the ball up and catch it.
Toss the ball up, clap and catch it.
Toss and catch with the right hand only.
Toss and catch with the left hand only.
Toss from hand to hand.
Sorta Sporty
Dribble with hands and then feet, moving in different pathways.
Shoot like a basketball so it arcs and lands right in front of your feet.
Bowl (roll) the ball against the wall.
Toss against the wall and catch on a bounce off the floor; without a bounce.
Kick against the wall so it bounces straight back to you.
Rolling Around
Standing, roll the ball around your body:
In a circle, clockwise around both feet together; counterclockwise.
Back and forth in front of the body; behind the body.
In a circle around 1 leg and then the other.
On the floor:
In plank position, back and forth from hand-to-hand.
In sit-up position, between feet and then up overhead.
Go, Slow Whoa:
Go foods are foods you can eat almost any time you want! They are the most nutritious and healthy foods for your body. Some examples of Go foods are fruits, vegetables, skim milk, low-fat cheese and yogurt, and whole grains like oatmeal and whole wheat bread.
Slow foods are “sometimes” foods. They aren’t off-limits, but they definitely aren’t as nutritious as Go foods. Some examples of Slow foods are peanut butter, nuts, canned fruits and vegetables, white bread, 2% milk, and fruit juice.
Whoa foods are the least healthy foods and should only be eaten every once in a while or on special occasions. They are often high in fat and sugar, and if you eat too many Whoa foods, you won’t be as healthy! Some examples are cake, ice cream, fast food, sodas, and hamburgers.
A healthy diet contains all types of foods, but some are better for you than others because they are more nutritious and more helpful in keeping your body healthy. Our three categories - 'go', 'slow', and 'whoa can help us keep on track with making healthy decisions.
Review examples of foods in each of the three Go, Slow and Whoa categories on this HANDOUT.
Choose your two favorite foods in each category.
Using this traffic light TEMPLATE and draw examples of Go, Slow and Whoa foods.
