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.

Run If

Show How How to Play:

● The game will be played inside the large rectangle (basketball court). ● Starting on the endline, students will listen for your identifier for them to run. ● You will say “Run if…” and add anything that aligns with them. ○ …you have shoe laces. ○ …you are wearing the color blue.
