Remember to have your student warm up before doing any exercise activity and cool down after. This lesson teaches locomotor skills for the next skill check. Be sure to review the directions for each skill with your student and help them as they practice each skill. Most of the skills taught provide tips for how to modify the skill if needed in the lesson. There are a few ways students can modify high knee skipping in order to build up to it. One way is to start by sitting on a bench or chair and bringing up a knee at a time as high as they can. This will help get them to get used to the motion of high knees. After they get used to this, have them try to do high knee skipping as demonstrated in the lesson. Then have them challenge themselves by holding a ball over their head as they do high knee skipping. Be sure to have your student practice the exercises for the Presidential Fitness Test this week, they are the shuttle run, sit and reach, curl-ups, push-ups, and the walk/run.
