Equipment needed:
4 wave bag cushions and four colored cones
Instructors needed:
Several to monitor
Description:
In this drill the students will practice racing around the mat. The instructor will have them run laps on the outside edge of the mat and they will call out a color. The students must race to the station with the matching color cone.
Teaching SKILLZ: TRICKERY
The instructor can say a color, and then point to a pad with a different color. This will test their visual and auditory processing skills, as they have to recognize the visual cue as false and the verbal cue as true.
Brain SKILLZ: SPEED OF PROCESSING
The students must be able to hear their instructor say a color, and quickly run to the pad that has the corresponding colored cone on top. This works on their ability to complete a task quickly and accurately.
Step 1
Set up four stations with one color cone on each station as shown in the picture.
Step 2
Have the student’s line up on the outside edge of the mat.
Step 3 – Explain the Rules:
When I say “go” you will race around the outside of the mat.
When I call out a color, you will race to the station with the matching cone.
The first student to touch the cone is the winner.
Step 4
Have them race around the mat for a total of 2 minutes.
