| Dominant Concept-:
| This activity will be performed by K-1
students to enhance their eye-hand coordination. Students at this
age need practice in large muscle control and development. |
| Sub-concept-:
| Students will need to use listening
skills and organization to follow this activity.
Students will work as a team as they design team logo.
Students will create a chart before beginning this lesson, brainstorming
safety rules when performing this activity. These will be posted throughout
the activity and referred to when necessary. |
| Focus-:
| While students are directed in the development
of eye-hand coordination, they are also working in cooperation with
one another. Students will be placed in five teams. Teams will sit
together and design a team name for their posters. This will be done
will the assistance of an adult volunteer. They will also use construction
paper to design a card to place on each member\'s back. This is to
help with building team spirit and cooperation. |
| Level-:
| This activity can be used with Kindergarten
and First Grade. It can also be useful with students who lack coordination
skills in special classes. |
| Foundational Objectives-:
| Students will be able to experience
success, not only in physical education classes, but in all aspects
of their education if they work on the following concepts:
1. Listening skills
2. Organizational skills
3. Large muscle coordination and development
4. Working cooperatively with others |
| Learning Objectives-:
| Students will learn to move in an orderly
manner from station to station.
Students will work cooperatively with a partner, as well as, working
individually.
After listening to directions and modeling from the teacher, the students
will move around five stations. They will complete the directions
in each station before moving on to the next.
|
| Procedure/Demonstration/Explanation-:
| There will be five adult volunteers
to assist with this activity. They will each hold a poster with names
of each team. Teams would have agreed on a name beforehand. Students
will wear their cards on their backs for identification. They will
form a line behind their poster. The teacher will demonstrate the
activity at each station. The stations are as follows:
1. Bucket Toss: Throw a bean bag into a bucket from a designated point.
They will have two tries at this.
2. Pitch and Catch: Throwing bean bags to a partner. They can do this
twice.
3. Bean Bag Balance: Place bean bags on head, shoulders, hands, one
foot while walking a designated distance.
4. Bull\'s Eye: Students will throw bean bag through a hole (which
is the nose of a clown). They have two turns.
5. Walk and Share: Students will walk with a bean bag on a stick to
a designated spot and back to the next student. Hand it to the next
student who will do the same until the team has completed the task.
Each team has no more than five minutes to complete each station.
