HOW TO EXPLAIN THE ACTIVITY
HOW TO EXPLAIN THE ACTIVITY

Ask everyone to find a partner and sit together in the designated space ready for a demonstration.

Either ask a student to be your partner for the demonstration, or ask a pair to demonstrate the activity.

Explain one student is going to sit with their legs straight out in front of them, while their partner stands astride the students legs.

Ask the student sitting to move their legs out into the straddle position while the one standing jumps the moving legs and lands between the legs.

Ask the pair to reverse what they have just done so that they get back to the starting position.

When the pair gets back to their starting position ask them to repeat the whole activity another 5-8 times.

On completion of the activity ask the pair to swap roles.
