MARCH
COMBINING SPORTS
Games that involve a combination of sports will be played this month. These
include VBB (Volleyball, Basketball, Baseball) and Foosketball. Classes will
also have the opportunity to come up with their own game using designated
equipment and demonstrate their game to the class.
ST. PATRICK'S DAY
Games with St. Patrick's Day themes will be played the week leading up to
Spring Break. These games include Stealing from the Leprechaun and Pot of
Gold Tag.
JUMP ROPE FOR HEART
The last week of March we will kick off the Jump Rope for Heart fundraiser
for the American Heart Association. All classes will learn basic jump rope
skills with the older students learning more advanced skills. The class that
raises the most money wins a party at the YMCA and a membership to the YMCA
for their teacher.
MOVEMENT & THROWING/CATCHING
Games that involve movement, throwing, and catching are always part of
the curriculum each month. Several versions of tag, dodgeball, and relay
races are often played. Younger students often rotate through stations,
spending a few minutes at each working on these skills.
