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. ●​ 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.

Review and Play

Review Switch from previous lesson and separate into groups of five-six students. Cones can be used for courts instead of lined areas like a four-square court. These groups will be the designated area for their short rope practice as well as their long rope routine group.
