These exercise balls and rhythm sticks will allow students in all grade levels to take part in a cardio drumming unit. The exercise balls will be placed on buckets and students will each have two sticks. As I lead them in a cardio drumming routine they will be squatting, jumping, turning, stepping, and moving all while keeping rhythm to the music and drumming with their sticks. I can only imagine how excited they will be when I introduce a drumming sequence to their favorite song or even allow them to come up with the moves themselves. This unit will also challenge classes to work together as a whole and synchronize the movements and beats. The possibilities and routines are endless. This is a unit that will peak all students’ interest regardless of their fitness level or their academic abilities. Students will be increasing their cardiovascular endurance and focus and will carry their determined mindset back into the classroom after the Physical Education class is complete.
