First, the students will divide into groups of four.
Then, the teacher will hand four bean bags for each group.
The teacher will explain the rules and goals of this game for the students. The goal is to finish the race first. The rules are no using hands to help balance bean bags at all time. Another rule is when the bean bag is dropped. The student must balance it on the original body part before taking another step.
The teacher will set up cones about 20 feet from where the students are lined up.
The first race will begin by having the students balance a bean bag on their head. Each member of each group will balance a bean bag on their head and walk to and from the cone and back before handing the bean bag off to his/her group member. All four to finish first will win.
The next race will have the same concept except they will balance a bean bag on their heads and one more on the right shoulder. First four to finish wins.
The final race will require the students to balance a bean bag on their heads and bean bags on both shoulders.
Finally, the students will finish by running 5 laps around the gym or blacktop.
