Place groups of four students (vary number of students as needed, keeping groups small) at stations scattered  throughout the gym:

1. The first child makes themself into a turtle (low).

2. The next child steps or carefully leaps over the turtle (high) and makes themself into a dog with a space underneath that a child can crawl under (medium).

3. The next child steps/leaps over the turtle, crawls under the dog (low) and makes themself into an elephant (high).
4. The next child steps/leaps over the turtle, crawls under the dog, runs around the elephant (medium), and makes a turtle.
5. Then the first child gets up from the turtle position, goes through all the obstacles and makes the next thing in the sequence (dog).

The order of the animals (drawings) can be posted for students to view during this activity.

Children can also choose their own animals as long as they fit the criteria.

1. Ask the class the level of each of the obstacles. Then ask what level they were at when they were going through each obstacle.

2. Watch to see if there are any levels the students are having trouble with that can be addressed in another lesson.
