This is a fun physical education lesson or brain break. The first lesson will take a little more time, however, once students know what they are doing it can be done very quickly.
Students will make their own secret code using sticks or chalk where they’ll create symbols to represent different activities. They’ll create a trail of their symbols for their partner to follow. This can be as long or as short as needed.
Teaching Structure:
- Activity Codes: Students will design symbols for each activity they choose. A code sheet is also provided if you want to skip this step.
- Students can now build their trails. To keep it simple, we find creating the trails in a straight line on the playground or field is easiest.
Once the trails are finished they can swap with their partner and complete the trails.
