Activity: Buddy Spotter Excercise Obstacle Course
Purpose: It is an action park activity for children to let out energy. At the same time in doing these excercise obstacles they learn how their muscles work within their own bodies.
Student Learning Outcomes: The student will understand about their muscles in their own body, they can see posted pictures of the body parts, and muscles they are using.
The students will recognize how to work together to develop with their buddy spotter to accompish an end goal of the obstacle towards the finish line.
The student will be able to listen and follow instructions given to achieve their goal in a short amount of time.
Preparation and Procedures: Post extra large numbered pictures of the body muscles at the location at the 6 obstacle course. (Monkey bars, slide, rock climber, etc.) Children can choose Buddy spotter. Explain to the children each (6) of the obstacles excercises, then they will have 11 minutes to finish. Temm them by saying, "Are you ready? Let's start!" (Make sure that the stop watch is pressed for each group player)
Space and Materials: The activity can be done at a Jungle Jim play area that is already set up at a park or school play yard or create your own course.

Questions: Did your speed improve when working with your buddy?
How many muscles were used?
Great activity! Children are able to learn about their muscles while playing! This is a great activity for those who only learn by moving or doing it hands on! Especially boys who are very active!
