Comments
I like the quality of the work you put in. This type of activity seems to keep the kids in active duty and having them move around a lot. I like how you incorporated games as well as safety procedures. I also like your teaching cues there pretty much on target and having the right ideas for this particular activity. Perhaps on one little thing you should just might one to put some refrences to your work.
