Description:
Students will practice HOPPING by demonstrating their ability to hop in a small square without falling over. This will challenge the students physically by requiring them to jump varying distances while still landing strong.
Teaching SKILLZ:
INTRINSIC MOTIVATION – On the second round, the instructor can ask if the students want to be a super ninja, and the instructor can ask them to jump two squares at a time.
Brain SKILLZ:
WORKING MEMORY – The student must hop in a square and do two kicks. They have to remember to do the kicks every time they hop in a square.

On round 1 the students will jump with 2 feet to the first box, they will then do 2 kicks while staying in the box.
They will continue jumping in every square and kicking until they reach the end of the ladder.
