How to play:
The objective of this game is for the students to experience gliding and the exhilaration of gliding fast.
- The first student pushes off the end of the wall, face-down in a streamlined body position.
- When they reach the second student, they are further propelled in the same direction by a forceful push to hips or feet.
- This continues until the student needs to take a breath or reaches the end of the line.
- Students rotate positions so all experience the glide.
This activity can also be done on the back.
