Kick a rolled ball and run to base
When to use this goal
For students who can kick a still ball but miss a rolled one or forget to run after the kick in kickball games. Fit depends on game observation, not grade.
- Baseline
- Score five turns: kicked fair and ran, kicked but did not run, or missed. Note pitch speed.
- Tips
- Kickball is a common recess and PE game; success here brings a student into peer play. Builds on mt-gm-013.
- Limits
- Seasonal by unit. Game rules (outs, running) are a separate learning load.
