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 specifc reminders needed for the day. Before releasing students for the frst game, use a Sequence Touch to get them to the location you need them to be for the frst activity.

Ball Toss Race

Show How How to Play:

● In this game, students will be standing in a circle, facing inwards towards each other. ● You will begin the game by throwing or rolling (depending on the skill level) the ball underhand to another student while saying their name. Explain that it’s important you remember who you toss/roll the ball to. ● Have students sit down once they’re received the ball so others know
