INTRODUCING EACH SPORT: Brief 2-minute demo at each station. 'In tennis, we hold the racquet and try to hit the ball over the net!'
FOCUSING ON FUN: This is about exposure and enjoyment, not skill development. Every child should feel successful at every station.
ROTATING SMOOTHLY: Whistle or music signal to rotate. Clear directions to next station. Keep momentum going.
DISCOVERING INTERESTS: 'Which sport did you enjoy most? Why?' Help children identify their sporting interests for future development.
