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.

Pumpkin Face, Raisin Face

Show How How to Play:

● Get into a circle, having students face each other with arm length distance between each other. ● Ask students what a pumpkin looks like and then what a raisin looks like. ● When you say “Pumpkin face”, students should stretch as far out as they can (arms, mouth, eyes, legs, etc.)
