Title - Ice Skating Pathways
By - Brittany Marcinkowski
Primary Subject - Health / Physical Education
Grade Level - K-2
Procedure:
- Explain the concepts and cues for the pathways:
- straight (like a pencil/like a line)
- curved (like the letter "C"/like a circle)
- zigzag (moving in a line, coming to a point, and making sharp turns)
- Have students move through general space while making different pathways.
- Give each student a pair of "skates" (colored construction paper) to put underneath their feet and slide on.
- Students must keep their feet on the construction paper while listening to the "skating instructor" (you).
- Explain to the students that they are on a big, frozen lake, surrounded by miles of snowy land and trees.
- Tell the students that they will be skating today and that they will have to change their pathways as they move so they do not skate/slide into other skaters.
- Have students skate around the frozen lake using straight, curved, and zigzag pathways.
- Call out different combinations of pathways for the students to make.
- Observe to make sure they are making the pathways correctly.
- Then, ask them to design a pattern made up of the different pathways and practice "freestyle skating" that pattern in the "snow" until they can do it exactly the same each time.
- Have winter accessories (gloves, hats and scarves) or add music to make it even more fun and exciting!
