| Indy 500 | |
|
State Standard: 1, 2, & 4 |
|
| Equipment: 4 Hula-Hoops & 5-6 deck rings, and cones | Grade: 2-5 (Possible K-1) |
| Purpose of Event: Cardiovascular Endurance & Teamwork | |
| Time: 20-25 minutes | |
| Organization: Place large hula-hoops in a circle around the gym (4 teams). Each team gets 5-6 deck rings or other rings (make sure there are different colors for each team).
Indy 500: On the signal, the 1st runner carries a deck ring and tries to catch the runner ahead of them. If you, get tagged, you lose the ring (place it in the middle of the gym – center circle). If the runner makes a full lap without getting tagged they hand off the ring to the next person in their group. After a few minutes stop and see what team has the most rings left. Rules: Students cannot tag the student behind them!! They must catch the person in front to them. Variations: Play for a few times and switch students around to make different teams and/or run the other direction. |

| Concerns: Move safely around the gym. | |
