Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Follow numbered instructions for selected fitness movements.
  • Move through a station routine and perform locomotor actions along a marked route.

Teaching tips

  • Set up stations by category (cardio, strength, flexibility, locomotor) so students rotate through a balanced circuit rather than repeating similar movement types.

  • For locomotor stations, pair students in a relay format, since each card instructs students to go one at a time and tag the next person in line.

Skills covered

  • Cardiovascular conditioning — students perform sustained movement exercises like jumping jacks, mountain climbers, and running in place.

  • Flexibility — students hold static stretches (e.g., butterfly stretch, cobra stretch, sit and reach) for 15-30 seconds per the card instructions.

  • Locomotor movement — students travel using specific gaits (skip, gallop, slide step, crab walk) around a cone in a relay format.

Good to know

Questions teachers ask about this resource

Do the locomotor movement cards (skip, gallop, slide step, etc.) work as standalone exercises, or do they require a specific setup?

They require a specific setup: each locomotor card instructs students to travel from a starting line around a cone and back, then tag the hand of the next person in line, so they're designed as a relay rather than a standalone movement.
