    About this ebook

    These 10 Games Lessons are designed to motivate children to listen attentively, develop positive attitudes and understand rules. Children will develop the skills of travelling, including chasing, fleeing and dodging; interact with others and use small apparatus to develop the skills required for more formal team games and sport when they are older.

    Each lesson includes lesson objectives, a list of resources, instructions for games, a warm-up activity, and an introductory activity. The skill building part of the lesson enables them to experiment and build upon their skills. There is a cool-down activity as well as assessment cues. There are also suggestions for extension activities and where appropriate ICT opportunities which include web links.

      Lesson 1

      Changing Pace and Direction

      Learning Objectives and Outcomes

      Children will recognise and describe how their bodies respond to exercise.

      They will listen carefully and respond to instructions, changing pace and direction with control.

      They will use small apparatus and interact with others.

      Equipment

      A quoit and band for every child. A tambour or drum.

      Instructions for Games

      Traffic Lights - On the call of ‘red’ children must stand motionless. On ‘amber’ they walk while on ‘green’ they run. The actions could be varied on amber or green at the beginning of a new game. For example hop and jump could be used for ‘amber’ and ‘red’ instead of walk and run.

      Peacocks - Each child has a band tucked in the back of their shorts to represent a feather. Children run round for thirty seconds trying to collect other’s feathers. Even if they lose their own feather they can still try to collect other peacock’s feathers. The winner is the person who has collected the most feathers at the end of the allotted time.

      Warm-up

      Teach children how to find a space by stretching their arms, turning a complete circle and then sitting down. Discuss how their bodies feel. Are they hot, warm or cold? Get them to feel their heart. What speed is it beating? Discuss the importance of a warm-up activity to get the body ready for exercise.

      Explain how to play ‘Traffic Lights’ with the colours used to run, walk and freeze. Play this for a few minutes, encouraging children to make good use of the space. Now change the actions to hop and jump when ‘amber’ and ‘green’ are called. Ask the children how they are feeling once they are sitting down at the end of this activity.

      Introductory Activity

      Ask the children to name three different parts of the body on which they could move. Tell them today they will only use their feet but you want them to find as many different ways of moving in this way as they can. Encourage them to use the space safely, turning and moving away if anyone else comes too close.

      Choose a few children with interesting movements and ask the others to stop and watch them. Get them to describe the movements being made then challenge the children to copy these movements. Pick out running as a movement then challenge the class to run too. Can they run in different ways using large strides, small steps, on tiptoes or with knees high in the air? Instruct them to change direction such as ‘move sideways’ and also direct them to move in a straight line or in a curved pathway. Can they run on the spot?

      Skill Building

      Explain that in some games we might need to run to chase but we may also need to flee and might need to dodge so that we do not get caught. To dodge we need to step quickly to the side and change direction. Explain the rules for the game ‘Peacocks’ then play for one minute. Who collected the most feathers? Ask children to replace their feathers and play the game a few more times.
