Mission Impossible
Subject: Physical Education
(This idea was contributed by Ingrid Carroll)
Age Range: 5 to 11

Having set up your gymnasium with all the apparatus for the lesson, ask students to complete an agents mission.

"Your mission agents is to move from apparatus to apparatus without touching the floor".

Be sure to join the apparatus circuit with mats and hoops to act as stepping stones. Play the "mission impossible" theme music.

I like to divide the class in half (girls/boys) and the children are asked to start on a piece of apparatus, preferably away from others. You can vary the difficulty by adding rolling movements when travelling on a mat.

The kids love it!!!
