Home Base (Baseline, Sideline or Circle with paint or cones to mark boundary)

Vocabulary Home Base: The area everybody meets to learn new games and debrief what you have learned in PE/Playworks. The coach asked the students to meet at Home Base to learn a new game. Responsible: Able to be trusted to do what is right or to do the things expected or required. A responsible student listens to directions the first time. Introduction

Begin class with a warm up procedure: ● Prepare students with daily expectations before entering the gym OR on Home Base. Quickly introduce yourself and let them know how much fun they’re going to have! ● 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 for the first game, use a Sequence Touch: ● The object of this activity is for students to remember and tag all of the objects that you list off and return as quickly as possible to Home Base. ● List off several objects, such as “ the brick wall, a cone, and something blue ” or any combination that is available for students to safely tag in
