Do a standing long jump with arm swing
When to use this goal
For students who jump forward without using their arms, take off from one foot, or fall on landing, which limits PE games and fitness testing. Fit depends on scoring the jump, not grade.
- Baseline
- Score two jumps and record the distance too, to see whether better form brings longer jumps. Use a mat for landing.
- Tips
- Arm swing is the part most students skip; teach it on its own first. This builds on mt-gm-008 (jumping with two feet).
- Limits
- Distance is not scored by the rubric; record it separately if useful.
