• 2 or 3 balls

• A basket or container to throw the balls into

• A wide open space allowing for movement

• A snack, such as crackers

Procedure

1. Read the information from the aforementioned web site.

2. Set up a Dolphin Obstacle course into three areas and divide the class into three groups.
   1. Hoola hoops for the students to jump through.
   2. Baskets/Containers for the students to throw balls into.
   3. A wide open space for the students to imitate dolphins leaping out of the water.

3. At each of the areas, offer the students a "reward" of a cracker, etc., just as dolphins are given fish.

Other Lesson Ideas
