Shaping Up

Form a rectangle, square, triangle, and circle using cones. Utilize the length and width of the gym. Use directional polyspots from one cone to the next if needed.

Place one locomotor movement card on each cone.

Students will be assigned to one of the geometric shapes. They will travel from one cone to the next performing the locomotor movement on the cone until they get to the next cone. Then they will change the locomotor movement to what is on the next card.

The students are to do each geometric shape three times and then rest.

When all students are ready, they will be assigned to a new geometric shape and start performing new locomotor movements.
