PE/Playworks Brain Booster Lesson 3: K-2nd

Theme

Intro to PE and Recess

Games and Activities

Red Light, Green Light and Hungry Fox

I can…

K: Run and hop and keep my balance. 1st: Run and hop and maintain stillness. 2nd: Skip and run (jogging and running).

Materials/ Space Needed

Home Base (Baseline, Sideline or Circle with paint or cones to mark boundary) Large rectangle shape (Basketball court)

Vocabulary Balance: To maintain control over the body in a certain position. I kept my balance while standing on my two feet.

Stillness: To remain in a calm position, without movement. I looked like a statue with my stillness.

Jogging vs. Running: To run at a slow, steady pace vs. To move quickly. I decided to jog instead of run during Red Light, Green Light so I could freeze on time.

Introduction

Begin class with a warm up procedure: ●​ Prepare students with daily expectations before entering the gym OR on Home Base. ●​ Warm up procedure may include several laps around the gym, stretching routine, or another quick, movement based activity. ●​ Back at Home Base, review rules/expectations of the school and PE/Playworks with explicit examples when appropriate. How will we be safe/kind/responsible in PE today? ●​ Review any other specific reminders needed for the day. Before releasing students for the first game, use a Sequence Touch to get them to the location you need them to be for the first activity.
