INTO THE KINDERGARTEN JUMPIN' LETTERS, NUMBERS AND SHAPES Curriculum Connections: Language Mathematics Health and Physical Education Multiple Intelligences: Linguistic Logical-Mathematical Spatial Interpersonal Bodily-Kinesthetic Materials Required: Each student will require one skipping rope. Activity: Objective: This activity will enable students to create letters, numbers and shapes using a skipping rope. 1) Provide all students with a skipping rope. 2) Have students place their skipping ropes on the floor in the shape of an I. 3) Students are to hop back and forth over their skipping rope until the teacher calls out a letter, number or shape (e.g. 7 or V). 4) When a letter, number or shape is called, students are to work in pairs to form the letter, number or shape using their skipping ropes. 5) Once the letter or number is made, students may begin to explore their relationship with the object (e.g. jump over it; jump inside/ outside of it; jump around it; etc.). 6) Teachers may check their letters, numbers or shapes before calling out another one for the students to create. 7) Challenge students to create simple words. (e.g. run, hop, skip). Skipping Leaders: 1) Place students in small groups. 2) Designate one student as the leader to begin. 3) Student leaders call out a letter, number or shape and their group must create it. 4) Switch student leaders every few minutes, until all students have had a turn being a leader. Curriculum Expectations: Language: Write using a variety of tools and media. Print most of the letters of the alphabet, students must print their own names, names of family members and some short words. Mathematics: Recognize and write numerals from one to ten. Social Development - Health and Physical Education: Participate willingly in creative movement, dance and other daily physical activities. Demonstrate balance, ease and flexibility in movement.

INTO THE KINDERGARTEN CONCENTRATION JUMPING Curriculum Connections: Language Health and Physical Education Multiple Intelligences: Linguistic Spatial Interpersonal Bodily-Kinesthetic Materials Required: Each student will require 1 skipping rope. Black Line Masters: 8 concentration cards. Preparation: Photocopy and cut out the concentration cards twice to make a set of 16 cards (8 pairs). You will need one set per group. Activity: Objective: This activity will enable students to work on their identification of words and pictures. 1) Place students into teams of 8. 2) Provide each team with a set of 16 concentration cards, placed upside down in front of them. 3) Partner all students into pairs and number the pairs from 1 to 4. 4) The teacher will call out a pairs number to begin the game. 5) The pair who is called chooses a card to turn over, reads the jumping activity and invites their team to perform the jumping task on the card. 6) Once the team completes the jumping activity, the pair turns over a second card, reads the jumping activity and invites their team to perform the jumping activity. 7) If the second card matches the first card the pair picks up both cards and places them on the floor in front of them; if the second card does not match the first card they must turn both cards over again. 8) Whether a match is made or not, the next pair of students now have their turn. 9) To complete the game all memory card pairs need to be matched. Skipping Leaders: Allow students to create their own memory cards and have students play a new game using them. Curriculum Expectations: Language: Identify most of the letters of the alphabet and demonstrate understanding that letters represent sounds and that written words convey meaning. Social Development - Health and Physical Education: Participate willingly in creative movement, dance and other daily physical activities. Demonstrate balance, ease and flexibility in movement.

BLACK LINE MASTER CONCENTRATION JUMPING Concentration Cards Jump over a skipping rope with one foot. Jump over a skipping rope like a kangaroo. Jump over a skipping rope like a frog 2 times. Walk over a skipping rope like a tightrope walker. Jump rope 5 times. Make a bridge over a skipping rope. Jump over a skipping rope like a rabbit 3 times. Jump inside a skipping rope in the shape of a circle.

INTO THE Curriculum Connections: Mathematics Health and Physical Education Multiple Intelligences: Logical-Mathematical Spatial Interpersonal Bodily-Kinesthetic Materials Required: Each student will require one skipping rope. GRADE 1 SKIPPIN' FACTORS Activity: Objective: This activity will help students practice their factoring skills. 1) Give 1 skipping rope to each student and ask them to put it on the ground beside them in a straight line. 2) The teacher will call out a number between 1 and 100. 3) The students will jump over their ropes and count by 1's to that number. Repeat this a few times by calling out different numbers. 4) Once the class has tried counting by 1's a few times, start asking the students to skip to numbers by different factors. For instance: if the teacher calls out jump to 20 by a factor of 2, the students should jump and count to 20 calling out the following 2, 4, 6, 8, etc...to 20. Repeat this a few times by calling out different factors and numbers. 5) Once the students have tried counting by different factors a few times, try to illustrate factoring by getting them to jump in factor groups. For instance, if the teacher calls out factor of 5, the students then have to form groups with 5 students. Once they are all in groups, the teacher calls out a 2,4,6,8 number they should jump to by that factor Now jump to 30. As a group they count 2,4,6,8 to 30 in factors of 5. Repeat a few times by calling out different factors and numbers. Skipping Leaders: 1) Place students in groups of 4. 2) Designate 1 student as the leader to begin (ensure students take turns being the leader). 3) Student leaders call out a number. Their group creates that number using their skipping ropes on the floor. 4) Now the leader calls out an appropriate factor (they can ask the group for suggestions). The students are to jump over their created rope numbers by that factor (e.g. 1 s, 2 s, 5 s and 10 s). Curriculum Expectations: Mathematics (Number Sense and Numeration): Count by 1's, 2's, 5's and 10's to 100 using a variety of ways. Health and Physical Education: Fundamental Movement Skills: Perform the basic movement skills required to participate in physical activities: locomotion/traveling, manipulation, and stability. Demonstrate the principles of movement using locomotion/traveling, manipulation, and stability skills. Active Participation: Participate on a regular basis in physical activities that maintain or improve physical fitness.

GRADE 1 INTO THE BODY RELAY Curriculum Connections: Science Health and Physical Education Multiple Intelligences: Spatial Interpersonal Bodily-Kinesthetic Materials Required: Each group will require a skipping rope. Black Line Master: Teacher Reference Sheet Black Line Masters: 9 Body Part Cut-outs Preparation: Photocopy and cut out one set per group of the Black Line Master body parts. It is important that teachers review the components of the body with their students before beginning this activity (See Black Line Master: Teacher Reference Sheet for helpful information). Activity: Objective: To enable students to identify body parts related to heart health (cardio-vascular system) through assembling a body parts puzzle. 1) Place students in groups of 4 at one side of the gymnasium and give each group a skipping rope. 2) At the other side of the gymnasium, place the piles of body parts required to make a person (one set of body part cut-outs per group). 3) On the word, go the first student in each group will place a skipping rope on the ground and hop over it 5 times, then run to the other end of the gymnasium to pick up a body part and bring it back to his/her group. 4) The student who returns will high-five the next student, who will then repeat the same hopping activity and retrieve another body part. 5) Once all body parts are brought over, the group must work as a team to put the body pieces together to make a human body. Skipping Leaders: 1) Have students create an outline of their body by having a partner trace them on large butcher paper. 2) Ask students to draw in the heart, lungs, stomach, intestines, veins, arteries and brain. Curriculum Expectations: Health and Physical Education: Fundamental Movement Skills: Perform the basic movement skills required to participate in physical activities: locomotion/traveling, manipulation, and stability. Demonstrate the principles of movement using locomotion/traveling, manipulation, and stability skills. Active Participation: Participate on a regular basis in physical activities that maintain or improve physical fitness. Science (Life Systems): Identify the major parts of the human body and describe their functions.

BLACK LINE MASTER BODY RELAY Teacher Reference Sheet To be used as an introduction to the Body Relay activity. Teachers: Before using the Heart Healthy Body activity, ensure that your students can identify the body parts listed below. Heart Your heart is a muscular pump with four hollow chambers. The upper chambers collect blood coming into the heart and the lower chambers pump blood forcefully away. Lungs Your lungs are like hollow, thin-walled pouches inside the chest, which are lined with blood vessels that absorb oxygen from air. Blood Vessels Your blood vessels are tubes that carry blood around the body. Blood vessels include arteries, veins and capillaries. Arteries Your arteries are tubes that carry blood that is rich with oxygen away from the heart. Veins Your veins are tubes that carry blood back to the heart to get more oxygen. Brain The brain is like a computer in your body that sends and receives messages from the rest of your body. Stomach Your stomach is part of the body system that breaks food into bits small enough for the blood to carry. Intestines Food moves from your stomach to the intestines. The intestines are tubes that absorb the vitamins, minerals and energy from food into the bloodstream.
