Feedback Walk: Three Stops, Three Questions

Pairs walk a calm three-cone loop; each cone has a question about the rhythm or jump rope lesson and a stretch. Students reflect on what they learned while winding down.

How to play

1. Walk with your partner to the first cone: calf stretch and answer "What step or rhythm did we nail today?" (2 min).
2. Second cone: quad stretch using your partner for balance and answer "What was hard and why?" (2 min).
3. Third cone: shoulder stretch and a specific shout-out for a classmate who helped you (2 min).
4. At the end, each pair drops a sticky note in the box with one word for their goal next class (1 min).

Rules

• Walk, don't run, between cones.
• Give specific answers: "the criss-cross," not "it was fine."
• Shout-outs name an action, never anyone's body.
• If a cone is busy, wait there stretching.

Variations

Adaptations

• Wheelchair users: a flat route and torso and arm stretches from the chair.
• Blind or low-vision students: the partner reads the card aloud and guides the route.
• Students who struggle to express themselves: answer by pointing to picture options on the card.

Learning goals

• Identify the lesson's wins and struggles.
• Recognize classmates' help.
• Cool down actively.

Equipment for a class of 25

• cones: 3
• question cards: 3
• sticky notes: 15

Teacher tip

Set the three cones in a wide triangle so pairs don't bunch up. Read the sticky notes at the end of the day: they tell you what to review better than any test.
