After School Fitness Skillastics® Lesson Plan Guide (MGFF03)

Description

This easy to follow, step-by-step guide was designed around the Fitness Skillastics® Activity Kit Starter Package Program.

1. Title of the activity.
2. The day of the activity and how long the activity will take to execute.
3. The grade level the activity is appropriate for.
4. The overview of the activity.
5. The equipment needed for the activity.

7. How to teach and play the activity.

What are the Different Ways I can Use this Lesson Plan Guide?

1. Sixteen consecutive days. You may want to follow the guide exactly or skip a few days in between, spreading the lessons out over a longer extended length of time.
2. As a part of a rotation with other physical activity lessons. You may already have additional physical activity programs scheduled for the year. The Fitness Skillastics®® Activity Kit Program is a perfect variation to add to this rotation.
3. Mix and Match. There might be moments when you need a quick physical activity.  Refer to this manual often to find an activity that fits perfectly.  Students will let you know what their favorite is!
