Skill-Building Drills – 15 Minutes

Get the Color:

The students will play a fun game that will challenge their memory while RUNNING, by collecting colored circles in order.
  • Teaching SKILLZ: NEUROBICS – Have the students call out the colors while collecting them to stimulate the brain.
  • Brain SKILLZ: WORKING MEMORY – The students must remember the color combinations in order.

Race to the Pad:

In this drill the students will race to the slammer pads and then sit on it as quickly as possible. The purpose of this drill is to build self-control.
