Find Your Partner (Heart Rate Activity)

Equipment: Music and CD Player
Activity: Have students partner up. Partners find a line on the gym floor. One set of partners line up going one direction (on basketball court boundary line), the other set of partners go another direction on a different line (the volleyball line). When music starts, students start running on their line going the direction they were told to go by the teacher. When the music stops, they have to be quick and find their partner and perform the activity that the teacher tells them to do (ex: Elbow to elbow, knee to knee, etc.). The last partners to find each other go to the middle of the gym and perform 10 push ups. Start over. Continue for 3-5 minutes.

We love this game. We teach it quite often when we do workshops for districts. It works well with all age levels.
