Set up three sets of high jumps in a triangle shape, with two at the front and one at the back. Ensure there is enough space for the students to run up at each high jump - don't have them too close. Place a row of tall cones in a banana shape in front of each high jump, this shows the students where to run so that they end up side on with the high jump. Students use a scissor jump technique and the leg that is closest to the high jump bar is the leg that is lifted first. Encourage the students to swing their arms up at the same time to help create lift - as if they are reaching up for a balloon that has been let go. Once the student jumps over the first high jump they continue on to the high jump at the back. Once they have completed TWO high jumps they go to the back of the other line. Key points: Banana Run (to end up side on) Scissor Kick (leg closest to the bar lifts first, use straight legs) Balloon Reach (swing arms up to help create lift)
