Intermediate Lesson Plan:

Grade 6/7 Target Game Lesson Plan (Indoor or Outdoor)

Amy Flett, Bobby Chilaka, Mike Rines and Nicole Hothi

 

PURPOSE:

To improve target game skills

To illustrate the negativity of hall of shame games

To develop strategies as a team

 

PLO’s:

1. A1 Relate personal physical and emotional heath benefits to regular participation in physical activity
2. B3 Demonstrate the proper technique to send and receive an object with or without an implement in predictable setting
3. C2 Model fair play when participating in physical activity (encourages teamwork)

 

Equipment required: Pylon cones, Frisbees, and gator balls

Safety issues: strains and pulls throughout students’ body, slipping on the gator balls, and poor accuracy leading to injury

Principles of learning: teamwork, accuracy, and strategy

Management/organizational strategies: shape of the day, small groups, goal management and clear communication

 

Outline:

5-10 minutes

Shape of the Day(Nicole)

Instant Game: Stop the knot! (Nicole)

15 minutes

Warm up stretches and dodge ball (Bobby and Mike)

10-15 minutes

Summary/Discussion (Everyone)

15 minutes

Modified dodge ball (Amy)

 

Students needs and contributes:

Cognitive: An explanation and a change in summary of activity can be modified and targeted to a younger audience (eg. Using smaller words).

Affective Development: The ability to change and be flexible with the game based on the level of development of students. A positive peer relationship between the students is broadened through physical activity.

Physical: provides opportunity for physical education and extracurricular activities which can further provide educational benefits.

 

Demonstrations, questioning, feedback and check for understanding:

Before the instant game, we will be demonstrating a quick example of what the human knot is suppose to look like at the beginning of the activity. During the summary portion of our lesson, we will hope to have an engaging discussion about the negativity of hall of shame games. Our last activity is a modified version of dodge ball. We hope then we can come to an understanding with students that hall of shame games are seen as negative, but there is always something that can be changed to create a positive physical educational experience.

 

Modify and adapting lesson:

Having students who learn in different ways, the instructors will both verbally and physically explain and demonstrate instructions. By getting students into groups of 7-8, we are creating a safe environment in the gymnasium where students feel more comfortable and confident talking and discussing about our summary.
