Equipment needed:
3 different colored cones, 3 wavemaster tops per line
Instructors needed:
1 per Line
Description:
In this drill we will be working on our ability to have great MEMORY by exercising our short term MEMORY to remember which pad to knock over.
Teaching SKILLZ:
TRICKERY – The instructor can say to knock over one pad, and point to a different one. This works on their ability to analyze what is being said, and recognize the visual cue as incorrect.
Brain SKILLZ:
WORKING MEMORY – The student must be able to hear the instructor call out a description, and knock over the correct pad. This works on their ability to hold onto information while performing a task, as they must remember which description the instructor called as well as which pad correlates with each description.
Step 1
Divide your students into lines
Step 2 – Setting Up the Drill:
● Place each cone on top of a wavemaster bag● Assign each cone a description (Gingerbread, reindeer, snowflake etc.)
Step 3 – Explain the Rules:
The instructor will call one of the descriptions i.e. Reindeer
The first student in line must run to that cone, kick over the pads
The first student to run back and sit strong get a point for their team.
After everyone has gone, the team with the most points wins.
