Hop to Its and Jugglebugs

Two activities which allow the students to expand on the skills they have learned in Physical Education Class.

Hop to Its

Every Friday morning throughout the year,you will find about 60 boys and girls jumping their hearts out. Hop to its is a jump rope club that meets once a week to learn new skills with individual ropes, partner ropes and long ropes. Each week they have 1 and 2 minute jumps, trick contests and new skill instruction. After they learn how to do the new tricks, they must then go home and practice the tricks so that they are able to do the tricks. At the end of the year, we put on a school performance consisting of routines that the children have made up, memorized, and practiced.

Jugglebugs

Juggle Bugs is a juggling group which meets for about 4 months once a week. In order to be a member, the student must be able to pass big rings in physical education class. At the club meeting, the students work on 1 and 2 minute juggles in various patterns, partner skills, and learning new skills. The one that they are most proud of doing is the master juggler. This consists of 90 juggles in a row using 5 different patterns. At the end of the year they are in a performance to demonstrate their skills.
