    About this ebook

    Clearly written lesson plans aimed at improving a range of social and physical skills, as well as stimulating children's imaginations through a series of exciting problems and scenarios. From saving an endangered animal to surviving an alien invasion, the children are placed in problematic situations in which they will need to work together to find a solution. Not only will the activities develop students' PSHE skills - building their self-esteem and helping them to work with a partner or small group - they will also develop essential movement skills: agility, balance and co-ordination.

      Introduction

      What are the aims of this book?

      This book aims to provide children with the opportunity to develop in a range of social and physical skills. These skills are developed through a series of carefully written lesson plans that have been designed with the busy primary teacher in mind. These activities aim at stimulating pupils’ imaginations through a series of exciting problems and scenarios.

      Where does this fit into the school curriculum?

      PE

      Each of the activities aims at developing the Key Stage 1 child in their fundamental movement skills: agility, balance and co-ordination. As well as this, the children will be thinking about when to select these skills and how to apply them.

      PSHE

      These activities aim to improve the child’s social skills with a partner or within a small group. These skills can then be transferred into the classroom and playground environments. Each activity acknowledges the importance of every individual as a valued part of a team. Successful completion of these tasks requires even the most reticent children to become involved. There is also the opportunity for pupils to become more responsible and to take on leadership roles.

      Setting the adventures

      The stories in this book invite the children to take on many different roles, from monkeys serving Wazzoo, the Monkey King, to explorers unearthing treasures in Egypt. Some stories make use of well-known characters, such as Robin Hood, to aid in the construction of the scenario. Others suggest to the children that they find their everyday selves in highly unusual and challenging situations.

      In order to assist continuity, and to help some children build a more detailed imaginative context within which to work, a number of the challenges have been set in the fantasy world of Gazaban. Many of the characters in these stories make repeat appearances and, should you choose to use their names, you may find the information below useful.

      The good guys

      King Rondo: the mighty (hungry) ruler of Gazaban

      Prince Larry: King Rondo’s son

      Princess Wilma: King Rondo’s daughter

      Pirate Pete: Captain of ‘The Golden Parrot’

      Long Don Silver: Pirate Pete’s first mate

      Wizard Zalbo: The king’s wizard and defender of Gazaban

      The dark side

      Zed the Witch: Arch enemy of Zalbo and the whole of Gazaban

      The Captain of ‘The Black Rat’ (no-one knows his name!)

      Remember that all stories can be adapted as the teacher feels appropriate for the class and the curriculum content.

Luckily, Zalbo, the friendly wizard, has a spell to protect you from
