Railyard Fitness is literally the coolest PE equipment around and Maury's got it! The equipment is quite pricey, so I used the DC PAY grant money to purchase these fun rails and platforms. Railyard is totally modular so you can change the course every time you use it. While looking for inspiration online, I found these videos. Check it out!
Look at our kiddos trying out the equipment for the first time! Students improved their Muscular Strength and Endurance by practicing different exercises set up in stations all the equipment. Exercises included: Jump Ups, Modified Push-ups, Jump Overs and Crawl Unders. Then students got to explore the equipment and create their own "moves" to show off to the class.
All K-5 students played a fun game the combines Sharks and Minnows and an obstacle course. If the student makes it past the taggers they get to try the obstacle course. If the got tagged, students had to start back on the other side of the room and try again. The game focused on improving Cardiovascular Fitness.
One more treat :) The PK students explored the equipment by moving across it in different ways. As I was helping one student make it across the highest rail, I heard some kids singing. I asked them to do it again because it was too good not to video tape. Enjoy! (And GREAT JOB, Ms. John!!)
***The Video had trouble uploading, I'll keep working on it. Check back soon!**
