1. GET FIT 2014 PHYSICAL EDUCATION FOR WA CHILDREN Theo kalumo, galanghendriano, Rasmussorsaand john tavener

2. Aim • Promote physical education in west Australian primary school students. • Create inclusive and engaging activities for all. • Affordable and usable program for all schools. • As a group, we were given the task to come up with an extra curricular activity for children in WA. • Our focus is on having fun and team building. Figure one

3. RULES and practicality • We decided to create a racecourse that influenced team participation as well as exercising the mind and body. • The course consisted of teams of five going over four obstacles that are easy enough to navigate for children who are less athletic. • At each obstacle there would be a task to complete, as teams would advance only upon completion of each task. • The course will start off with 3 teams of 5, this way each member gets to participate at each obstacle.

4. Obstacle one • Two team members • First team member is blind folded and the second will lead • Aim is to hit a water balloon containing a building block piece or Lego. • The second teammate will only be allowed to verbally guide them • After the block is collected its time to move on to the second obstacle with a 20 metre jog. Figure two

5. Obstacle two • The team is to create a structure that is in front of them out of building blocks of Lego. • This will keep the students moving and active whilst stimulating them at the same time • After completion the students are to move to the third obstacle. Figure three

6. Obstacle three • After running from obstacle two the students are to do a small amount of high intensity cardio • Every student is to skip for one minutebefore the whole team can move on • Small intense cardio is a good way to get the heart rate up • Skipping also improves core strength Figure four

7. Obstacle four • A 10 question quiz for the whole group • Everyone to participate and questions are adapted by the teachers to meet the current curriculum • Its really only limited on teachers’ imagination and how they involved with the activity as well. • Success in the whole obstacle course will be greatly affected by the quiz giving less athletic children a chance to help the teams. Figure five

8. BRANDING and Marketing • There is an opportunity to merchandise this activity at alcohol free events such as Yac It Up held in Scarborough. Ran by the youth advisory council. • Events such as Hyper-Fest in Midland provide the ideal setting to promote this extra curricular activity.

9. conclusion • We are creating a simple to follow four step obstacle course. • Incorporates a variety of activities that aim to improve physical activitiesthat stimulate the students brains. • There a various levels of intensity to the obstacles that that children of all athletic capability are able to benefit from the program.
