TEACHING CUES

• Travel Around
• Sit

Activity Procedures: 

• Its time to send the train down the tracks!
• On Go, the student with the beanbag will pass it to the next person. As soon as the pass is made, that student will get up and walk quickly to sit at the other end of the line. This sequence continues until the line makes it to the other end of the area and a student sits next to cone number 2.
• At cone number 2, tap the beanbag to the cone and then use the same process to send it back down the tracks toward cone number 1. Continue until you hear the stop signal.

Send groups of 5 or 6 students to a set of cones with 1 beanbag for the group.
Each group sits side-by-side in a single file between cones 1 and 2, starting next to the cone number 1.
The beanbag begins with the student closest to cone 1.
