• Students had a fun time playing a real life version of "Hungry, Hungry, Hippos". Using gross and fine motor skills students had to scoot down the gym , collect their food(tennis balls) and then return to their line before performing an 'over under' relay. Then the last person in each line attempted to toss the ball into a bin located in their corner of the gym.

• Students really enjoyed this cooperative activity of "Whistle Mixer". Students had to use their listening skills to form groups based on how many times the whistle was blown. They were later challenged to form their bodies into shapes with group members. If they didn't find a group to be apart of, they performed 10 jumping jacks before re-entering the activity.
