Get the students to line up beside each other behind a row cones. Make sure there is enough space for the students to swing their arms without touching the person beside them. Ask the students to jump forward without bending their knees (ie keeping legs straight), and have their arms by their side. Once the students have completed this jump get them to observe how far they jumped and then return to the line. Repeat the above process using the following: - Arms by their sides, allowing knees to be bent - Arms allowed to be swung, knees allowed to be bent - As above but now jumping from 1 foot and landing on 2 (1:2) - As above but now a few steps run up - As above but now a run up from further back.
Modifications of different jumping included within activity: - Arms by side, legs straight - Arms by side, legs allowed to be bent - Arms allowed to be swung, legs allowed to be bent - Arms allowed to be swung, legs allowed to be bent, taking off from 1 foot landing on 2 (1:2) - Arms allowed to be swung, legs allowed to be bent, jumping 1:2, allowing a run up
