Description:
Students will practice ROLLING by demonstrating their ability to roll a small ball on a line without losing the ball. This will challenge the students mentally by challenging their hand-eye coordination to roll the ball down the belt.
Teaching SKILLZ: CHOICES
Let students choose whether they want to walk forward or backward on their second round. This builds autonomy and ownership.
Brain SKILLZ: ATTENTION CONTROL
Students must concentrate fully on guiding the ball along the belt without letting it fall off.
Step 1
Divide your students into lines.
Step 2
Place the belt in front of the students.
Step 3 – Explain the Rules:
The 1st student will stand up with the ball.
When the instructor says “GO” the student will walk the ball with both hands down the belt.
If the student loses the ball, then they must start over again. (About 6ft)
If they make it all the way down, then have the student go to the end of the line.(About 6ft)
On round 2 see if any student can roll the ball walking backwards down the mat.
