Components of Fitness Series: Reaction Time Task Cards

Components of Fitness Series: Reaction Time Task Cards is a teaching resource that helps educators improve students' physical reaction time. This set includes 24 task cards that can be printed full page or 2 per page as PDF, PowerPoint, or JPG files. Educators can use these cards in various ways to engage students. For example, they can set up a relay race station for students to run through the cards one at a time and quickly perform the movements. Alternatively, they can form small groups for students to take turns leading reaction time challenges. This resource allows flexibility for whole class activities, small groups, partner work, or even individual practice. By implementing these task cards into physical education curriculums, educators provide an entertaining way for students to work on an important component of fitness - reaction time. The cards encourage focus, quick decision making, coordination, and responsiveness.
