To start have all children in a large circle, The teacher will call out a factor that they know will be
shared among students such a8 birthday month or favourite colour, The children that have these 4
‘shared factors run around the outside of the circle and back to their spot. When the teacher calls son?
midnight all students run around the centre of the circle and back to their spot. 59)
‘Make sure you make it clear to students that they need to be careful as they are running close to oe
other students and they need to be ovate of where other students are running. Play the game a few
times so that students can warm up. ; Ave ay.
‘Modifications "
+ Ifit's hard to find common factors for students give them:a number between one to four.
Children with special needs:
+ If students are unable to run allow them to call out the shared factor
+ If'students cannot use clear verbal communication use numbers and allow them to hold up.@
sign to signal the number they are calling out
+, For students that cannot run due to disability all students can walk to match the speed,

B. Development 70-15 mins.
4, To begin request students to get into a circle with enough room fo move around. Also
as the teacher join the circle so that every one can see you.
2. Show students the skill through demonstrating a run on the spot using correct
technique and then running around the centre of the circle so that students can see
‘an example of forward running motion with correct technique.3., Go through step-by-step breaking down the components of running with students,
+. Focusing eyes forward when running
Bending back recovering leg at a right angle during the recovery phase
Bending arms at elbows
Moving arms in opposition to legs» “
Contact ground with front part of foot
Leaning slightly forward
As you go through these do the aspect of the skill and haye students copy you, Giving feedback to
any students that may require it. aspect OF An?
Encourage students to go through each individual,skil with you. Assisting any students that may need
some assistance with technique. Get students todo this on the spot in the circle. Develop the skils to
‘one swift motion of running on the spot, Ask questions to, remind students,
What was the first step? What happens next?
€. Consolidation, practice, extension 25 mins
4, Get students to spread out along line up on a line drawn on the floor (e.g, a basket
ball or netball base line) so that they can practice their skill on their own. Stress to
students this is not a race and to jog slowly rather than run fast.
8. Once students have had a practice on their own, get students to’jog to the hallway
line drawn on the basketball courts. Jog in front of them for them to observe and
copy.
6. Ask students about the steps to focus their attention bgek to the initial ski
7. Bring students, in close to explain the next activityYStudents will be placed into 5
‘Groups of 6, Students will run. from one cone to the other, when they get to this cone
they will do 3 star jumps before running back to their line, When they get back to
their line they will then tag the next person. The remaining students in the group will
line up behind the first cone waiting for their turn. It is important to stress to students

Children with special needs:
+ For students that cannot run they can walk at either a fast or slow pace
* For students that cannot participate they can start the game by signaling to
the first runners when to start
This game is designed to be quick so that students are not waiting around but have
adequate time to practice and develop the skill in a non-competitive situation,
8. Bring students in to discuss the final game of rob the nest for the lesson.
vTo play fob the nest students will be divided into 6 groups of 5. Students will each have a nest (hula
\ hoop) in their group. The hoops will be ‘displayed ‘so that they /surround a centre hoop full of
oO 5 beanbags. When the teacher starts the game one student at a'time buns to the middle and grabs one
bean bag and brings it back to their nest (the hula hoop). Students cannot throw beanbags or drop
are, them if they do this their bean bags go back into the middle. if students take multiple beanbags at any
“ott —_time they loose two beanbags from their final score. Once all beanbags from the centre are taken all
students can go to other teams nests to take their beanbags,:again only one beanbag at a time per
7 student. Students are not allowed to guard the nest as the focus is running to collect the beanbags.
‘¢\chO® When the teacher calls time students must stop go back to their nests an count the number of bean
bbags they have left. The teacher will call the students back in and students will bring their beanbags.
fan ‘One member from.each group. will raise their hand and give the class-a total of the number of
Koay . beanbags they-had left. :
To step up you can ask some students to take the bean bags to the centre while the teacher quickly
Puls the other hula hoops in appropriate spots forthe game. At the endl ask some studngetYoienters >
to help you quickly pack up.
It is important to remind students about toa when they approach the nest to slow down to
‘avold collisions with other students and to use correct running technique that we have been practicing
8 this will make ‘ll students more affective runners. It is also important to encourage the students
that it's not about winning, as we want students to focus on the skill,

egy To play this game students are divided in half this is their team the number ones are the radishes and
the number twos are the raisons, Students line up along a painted line or a line of cones in the centre
of the playing field. Students line up on either side of the line (the radishes on one side the raisins on
the other), The teacher yells out either radishes or raisins and whichiever name is called the students
that team run to the safety of their own end line, while the members of the other team chase them.

suggest which team is running.
3. Bring students back into a group and explain today's lesson of developing dodging skills.
Explaining to students that were going to learn this skill, practice it and then we will put our
skills into practice by playing a whole class game of octopus.
Does anyone know what a dodge is? What we can use it for?
4, Show students an example of dodging to demonstrate using correct skill points. Also get a
student to.run towards you to show a more detailed demonstration. Also explain to students
that this lesson we will be working towards putting dodging techniques into our running during |
this lesson.
5, Explain fo students why this skill is important including that in group games we won't collide
with others, we can use this skill for other Sports:
B, Development 10-15 mins«Prior fo the class starting have the cones set out already for the zig-zag exercise, providing
they are not in the way of the warming up activity.
4. Invite ‘students to spread out across a line where students have enough space around them
but | don't want encourage too much distance between students, as they need to all hear and
see me clearly. : ]
2... Show students the skill again and then break down the: skill into steps, having the students
‘copy you as you show them. Have all children dodge the same'way to avoid collisions, make
sure they are aware they need to be careful to avold hitting other students.
+. Foousing eyes in the direction that you are travelling
+ Use your outside foot to push offo change direction
* Lowering your body whén you change direction and bending youir knees
* Using one step to change direction
* Practice on both sides
3. Go through the motion, movement and steps with the students again. When they have had a
few minutes to practice the skill wth the teacher, alow students to practice on their own in the
area by themselves. This practice willbe brief
Consolidation, practice, extension 25 mins
4. Bring students back in'close to explain the next task of using @ zig-zag dodge.
There will be a start line and 'cones set up in a zig-zag pattern. These’ cones'will begin 5
meters from the. start line’ and there will be total of 6 cones. To participate in this task
students need to run to the’ first cone’and then dodge towards the next cone. They continue
dodging all the cones until the end. When they get fo the end they go to the back of their line.
‘The next student’s starts when the first student gets to the third cone.
Demonstrate to students showing and encouraging using the correct technique.
* Stress to students this is not a race
+ Make sure that students are using correct performance technique.
Modificatic hildren with special needs:
* Children that can participate can have a go of creating the zig zag pattem and will be
encouraged fo work on one aspect of the skill such as looking toward the dodge rather than
performing the entire skil
Children who can not participate can be involved in helping the teacher count the players into
their team number and either a verbal go or non verbal signal such as a flag to help students
know when to start
5. Put students into groups of 5 and there will be a total of 6 groups. To number students off start
with one and count to five and then start again have the students, stand in a fine for numbering
and have the class count with you. When you have numbered all the students tell the students
were their start cone is and they need to'raise their hand when they have 5 people lining up
behind their cone.
Begin the task suggesting that when students have had two turns they sit down in their group.
After students have had two turns each bring students back in.
Noe8. . Let students have a.quick drink break and if any students don't want a drink ask them to help
you gather the cones.
9. Bring students back in together to discuss the final game for the session. Discuss the rules of
the gaine.
For this game 4 students will be the octopus there goal is to tag the fish (remaining students) running
{rom one side of the marked space to the other to. make them seaweed by tagging them. The students
that are the, fish will run. trying to-dodge the: octopus. The. fish run when the: teacher says the word
‘octopus’, Once they get tagged the fish turn into seaweed ‘and:try to tag the remaining fish. The
‘game becomes so that the remaining fishvare also an added obstacle for students to avoid. The area
for this game will be marked with cones. The students that are octopus will wear coloured braids. Play
a few times swapping octopus. At the end of the game have. students bring the braids back in to be
packed up.
Ifthe game is relatively easy or too hard change
Children that are

10. Discuss with students why dodging will be helpful for this game, so that they don’t bump into
people and they can'get around the octopus without being tagged,
14. Play the game a few times changing octopus. This game will work best choosing students of
mixed abilities with running and dodging so that the game is fai.
42, Allow students to have a quick drink break.
Closure 5-10 mins
Bring students back to the floor. ee
Discuss with students what we covered in todays lesson and what was important fo take away
from this session. “
3,. Draw student’ atténtion back to the dédging skill:
‘What did you have to remember when you perform a dodge?
4. Reflect on lesson with students.
What did you find hard about dodging?
id using this skill help you in the olass game?Post-lesson review and evaluation:
‘Student achievement:
How did students demonstrate that they had used correct dodging technique?
‘To what extent did students achieve this outcome?
Teaching effectiveness:
What have you learnt from teaching this lesson on dodging?
For future lessons what do you recommend for next time?
Comment on your effectiveness in the light of the objectives/outcomes of the lesson and your
self-development focus for the lesson, referring to both strengths and areas to be addressed.References
