Brain SKILLZ:
Step 1
Divide your students into groups.
Step 2 – Setting Up the Drill:
For each line, you will need an instructor with the rings set-up in stepping motion down the mat.
Step 3 – Explain the Rules:
  • The 1st student will stand up next to their 3 blocks.
  • When the instructor says go the student will grab the first block and run it to the other side of the mat.
  • Once they get to the other side they must put the block down.
  • They will repeat this process until they have stacked up all the blocks, then they get to front kick it down!
  • To make the game more challenging add more blocks, for cooler towers.
Step 4 – Takeaways:
  • Keep your knee high when you kick.
  • Make a nice tower so you can smash it at the end.
  • Take big steps as you run.
Step 5
  • Continue so that each student has at least 2 turns.
