AROUND the HORN DICE Fitness and AROUND the HORN MUSIC Fitness – 2 games, 2 times the fun!
I recently created over 30 exercise GIFS for our PE classes and online learners. I added many of those GIFS to two different fitness warm-ups called AROUND THE HORN DICE FITNESS and AROUND THE HORN MUSIC FITNESS! Each warm-up has 4 different versions. Each version includes 4 different exercises focusing on strength and endurance.
See the video below for an explanation of AROUND THE HORN DICE FITNESS!
In the nutshell, here’s how you play:
- Place four cones numbered 1-4 in each of the four corners
- Partners begin at one of the 4 corners
- Partner one rolls the dice
- Partners run around that number of corners (cones)
- Perform 10 repetitions of the exercise assigned to the corner
- Partner two rolls the dice
- Repeat steps 4 and 5
- Continue for 3-5 minutes
- How many times can partners run AROUND THE HORN?
The music version of the game, AROUND THE HORN MUSIC FITNESS, uses the same 4 game boards but instead of dice, the teacher controls the movement by playing and stopping music.
Here’s how to play:
- Place four cones numbered 1-4 in the 4 corners of the gym
- Students begin at one of the 4 corners
- Teacher plays the music
- While music is playing, students run around the 4 cones
- When the music stops, students go the closest corner
- Students perform the exercise assigned to the corner
- After 20-30 seconds, teacher plays the music again
- Repeat steps 4 and 5 for 3-5 minutes
- How many times can students run AROUND THE HORN?
Each game comes with 4 separate game boards for a total of 16 different GIFS!
