There were two different activities for the country of Jamaica. First, students watched a short video of the limbo and were amazed at how some people could have the bar lowered so close to the ground and still make it under. Students had fun trying the limbo and discovered it's often difficult to keep one's balance when going under the bar. For our second activity, we watched a video of Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt's 100 meter dash at the 2012 Olympics in London. We talked about how fast he is and how runners use starting blocks to add quickness to their start. Students had fun trying to position themselves like they were in the starting blocks. They practiced sprinting.
