Introduction (Set Induction, Short explanation of the day’s activities, State learning objectives, and Check for Understanding) Who here has seen eco-racing on TV? Well today we are going to do a simplified version called an adventure race. This is a fun alternative to running a traditional mile and a great way to increase your cardiovascular endurance and reach your daily goal for moderate to vigorous activity. The race will also reinforce the BOSU skills we learned earlier and will have a station that explains the relationship between calorie consumption and energy expenditure of various activities. What were some of the BOSU skills we did last week? General Rules of Adventure Racing 1. 2. 3. 4.

Teammates must stay together for the entire race. Students can help each other and other teams complete obstacles. Students unable to participate can be judges at each station. They cannot help participants. On the first lap, students only complete the question station. Each lap thereafter, students complete all stations. This creates separation between the teams. Specific Rules of This Race

1. Race format is “20 Questions.” Teams start off with 10 questions to use at the end of the race but can earn 8 extra questions to use from the Riddle Station and 2 extra questions from good fair play. Teams earn a time deduction depending on how many questions it takes the team to find the answer. Each answer attempt also counts as using one of their questions. Questions are asked one at a time from each team member so that everyone has a chance to play. 2. Unfair play or not staying together as a team during the race results in a question deduction.

Closing (Review of what was learned and Assessment) So I hope everyone had fun during the race. Adventure races are an example of interval running, which is a great way to increase your cardiovascular endurance. Remember to turn in your exit slips before leaving. • What did your team do to be successful? • What would you do different? • Did the M&M station surprise you? What did you learn?
