add excitement to the activity.

This is an exercise code for the students to work in small groups to figure out the exercise or tasks
. Each letter has a keyboard symbol that matches it. The students are given a task/code sheet , then have to find
out the secret exercise or fitness activity. They work together within the small groups as a "team" .
Look at the alphabet letter , and beneath that letter is the symbol . On the task sheet , write down
the letter and execute the task the number of times as noted. As an alternative make more sheets so the students
have different "codes to break ." Include a time limit , then the next time try to beat a previous performance.
{ in the third task , the symbols should be the * asterick after the + symbol , not the ^ symbol and also the
next ^ should be an *asterick , too } so that it spells out , catch a ball}
