Given the changing needs of learners, a wide variety of activities offers an opportunity to facilitate growth. Exposure to various activities enhances self-testing, exploration, and new interests. Sport Stacking has shown to improve elementary children's skill-related fitness components, particularly reaction time and hand-eye coordination. Thus, incorporating sport stacking into the physical education curriculum can result in elementary school children engaging in moderate-intensity physical activity as well as potentially improving their skill-related fitness components. I intend to use Sport Stacking in many ways throughout my curriculum. For instance, Sport Stacking can be an excellent "instant activity" to get students moving and ready to begin a physical education class. This is just one example of many how Sport Stacking can be used for students who have arrived early and want to simply get moving and be active. Second, Sport Stacking can be worked into a number of other activities in my curriculum to increase content variety and energy expenditure levels. I would set up stations involving Sport Stacking and other more vigorous activities, like rope jumping and have students spend specific amounts of time at each station, and rotate at certain intervals. These are but two, of many possible, examples of how Sport Stacking could be included into the physical education curriculum. I also requesting a finger grip whistle and stopwatch that will help me manage the stations. In conclusion, several scientific studies have shown that Sport Stacking has a similar energy expenditure as other activities that are commonly taught in physical education courses today (Kelly & Melograno, 2004). If one couples this finding with the fact that past research has shown sport stacking to be effective in enhancing key skills such as hand-eye coordination and reaction time for developing movement competency, especially object-manipulation skills, it is my belief that Sport Stacking can be a valuable component of the physical education curriculum.
