Results Walk: One Technique Tip Each

Reflection on the move: in pairs, students walk and talk about their best attempt of the day and the tip that made it work. The tips go on a shared wall chart.

How to play

1. The teacher asks: 'What did you do differently on your best attempt?' (1 min).
2. Pairs walk around the track or schoolyard, each sharing their best attempt and tip (3 min).
3. Each student writes their tip on a sticky note, no distances or numbers (1 min).
4. Notes go on the wall chart grouped by event and the teacher reads three aloud (2 min).

Rules

• Talk about technique, not about who went farthest.
• Easy walking pace, no running.
• Listen without interrupting.
• Names on notes are optional.

Variations

Adaptations

• Writing difficulty: dictates the tip to a partner or draws it.
• Deaf or hard of hearing: walk face to face to support lip reading.
• Limited mobility: short, flat route, or sit in a circle.

Learning goals

• Reflect on your own technique.
• Share learning respectfully.
• Recover actively.

Equipment for a class of 25

• sticky notes: 30
• markers: 15

Teacher tip

Keep the chart and start next class by reading a few tips. Don't let it turn into a ranking: if someone writes a distance, ask them to swap it for a feeling.
