Step 1
Have the students form partnerships.
Step 2 – Explain the Rules:
The students will spread out on the mat with their partners.
1 student will start by laying down on their back, the other student will sit with their knees on the ground sitting on their partner’s stomach.
When the instructor says “GO” the student on bottom will have 10-15 seconds to escape from under their partner.
If the student is successful their partner has 5 of an exercise, if their partner can keep them on the ground the other person has 5 of an exercise.
Make sure to switch positions after each round..
Step 3 – Takeaways:
Keep your knees wide to have good balance.
Make sure you are constantly moving on the bottom.
Don’t give up even if you don’t feel like you’re winning.
