Description:
The students will practice their courage to get hit by charging their opponent with a slammer pad.
Teaching SKILLZ: Trickery
Occasionally fake a “go” command to see who moves too soon, then remind them the goal is self-control. This keeps the drill fun while reinforcing listening and discipline.
Brain SKILLZ: Cognitive Flexibility
By changing the number of steps (3, 4, or 5), students must adapt to new rules quickly, practicing flexibility in how they approach the challenge.
Step 1
Divide your students into pairs and then divide the pairs into groups.
Step 2
For each line you will need two large slammer pads.
Step 3
Have the first pair in each group stand back-to-back.
Step 4 – Explain the Rules
When I say “go” youwill both take three steps in the direction you are facing and then turn and charge your partner.
The goal is to stay on your feet as you both crash into each other.
Step 5
Continue until each pair has at least two turns.
Step 6
On the second round you can have them take four or five steps away.
