Race to the Finish

Two students line up at “I”. The first student rolls a 12-sided die and takes that number of steps. The student does something with the word he/she lands on: e.g., says it 3x while clapping or spells it while jumping once for each letter. The second student takes a turn in like manner. Continue until one student reaches the end of the mat or to some predetermined spot, like halfway through the mat. (Grades K-1)

Variations: Travel may be by rows or by columns. Older students may use 2 six-sided dice and multiply the two numbers to determine how many steps to advance. (Grades 2-3)

Stepping Sentences

Give several students a sentence to build, either a statement or a question, by distributing index cards for words that will make a sentence. Have them study the words and then find them on the mat. Have them jump to each word in sequence, labeling it with a sticky note listing its number order and standing by the word. Then have everyone say the sentence, jumping or clapping with each word, directed by the students on the mat. In place of sticky notes, you may substitute poster board frames (labeled 1, 2, 3, 4, etc.) to place around the identified words.

The student travels to the top of the mat, alternating a jump with 2 feet on two blocks (saying the two words) with a hop on one foot on one block (saying the word.) The hops should alternate between the left foot and the right foot.
