Grades Y5-2, and some 3-5th: Locomotor Go Fish! Students are in different groups (skip, gallop, hop, jump, walk, run). They do that skill to go to the center of the gym, one at a time, where there are cards. They take a card and try to be the first group to spell their locomotor skill's name. This game works on practicing locomotor skills, cooperation, and relay formation, along with literacy/spelling/letter recognition skills. Kindergarten and young fives play this game "open face", with letters showing in the center. 1st - 5th graders play with letters facing down. 3rd through 5th grade classes participate in this activity if there is time after fitness testing.

Health:
First graders are continuing talking about fire and burn safety! We read some fire and burn safety situations and discussed why each situation was dangerous, and what students could do to be safer. We also had time for students to share personal connections to fire/burn safety.
