J. Reichardt – Sports Spectacular Robotics - Explore sports ranging from gymnastics to biking, mini-golf to

lessons focus on the importance of physical fitness and different aspects of fitness while other lessons describe
the mechanics of the sport. But the best part is the way the models move and the fun they have playing with
them after they’re built – hitting a plastic golf ball with the mini golf model or watching the gymnast spin
around the bar. All LEGO® kits remain the property of Bricks4Kidz. Bales Cafeteria

teammate, taking only 3 steps (while in possession of the ball) and holding the ball for only 3 seconds. The ball
is passed around until it is thrown to the goalie, who must catch and maintain possession of the ball while
standing on the score zone mat. Bales gym
