Lesson Theme: Putting Movements Together
Age Group: Upper Juniors 10 - 12 years
Lesson Length: 45 min
Lesson Outcomes: Children be able to use a sequence that they made and perform it on a piece of apparatus. Students will be aware on what they need to focus on and learn for the next week.
Equipment Needed: Mats and a piece of apparatus for each group (large)
Warm Up: Ask the children to skip around the room in and out of free space and ask them to keep changing their direction all the time. Run in and out of spaces running and jumping as high as they can. Get the students to make shapes in the air.
Floor Work: Split the students into groups of four and give each group a mat. Make sure the students remember the sequences that they have learned in their previous lessons. Students should perform their own sequence in front of their group and describe to the group what they are doing and then get the rest of the group to do the same.
Apparatus Work: Join a large apparatus mat to the mat that was around the group and remind the students that they must only use jumping as a way of getting away from their partner and coming towards them. Remind the students that they must have a movement to get across the mat. Tell the students to explore the apparatus on their own using different skills and they should find a way of getting onto apparatus. The children should be able to teach this to their partner. The children should then teach their sequences to each other and join them together. They will be asked to practice their sequence together for a few minutes. When the students have joined their sequences together and are able to perform it on the apparatus given they are ready to perform to the rest of the class. Students should evaluate other students on their progress and teacher should also give feedback on the students performance.
Cool Down: Sit in a large circle. The teacher makes a shape with his/her body and passes this shape the whole circle. The shape must be the same until it gets back around to the teacher. When it gets back around the next person in the circle has to make a shape and pass it on. Challenge the students by jumping and making shapes or lying down and making shapes.
