Lesson: Fetch 12
Grade(s): K-5
Skills: Cardiovascular Fitness, Manipulative skills (speed stacks)
Description: Students will be separated into 8-10 teams. Students will stand at a designated spot, in line, on the circle. To start the game, each group will have one, out of their 12 cups, that they will have to retreat. On the start signal, the first student will run out into the playing area and will retrieve one of their team's cups (certain color).

Lesson: Stackers vs Blasters
Grade(s): K-5
Skills: Cardiovascular fitness, manipulative skills (speed stacks), and team work
Description: Students will be separated into two teams on opposite ends of the playing area. The playing area will be set up with an even number of cups stacked up in 3-3-3 stack and down stacked in 3-3-3 stack. On the "Go" signal, both teams will go to the playing area to complete their job. The stackers must try to up-stack cups and the blasters will down-stack cups. Students on the up-stack team will be given a 10 second head start since it takes longer to up-stack.
