•
Give clear instructions about the purpose and directions of the game.
•
Emphasize that the game is about cooperation and communication
•
Encourage and praise effort.
In this game, height is a disadvantage, so have the class line up from tallest to shortest. Go down the line and give each person the number 1,2 or 3. Group students with same numbers. This way, all 3 groups have similar height dynamics.
•
Note students who try to dominate inappropriately and step in if necessary with a quiet warning.
•
Provide appropriate help if the activity proves too difficult. (allowing an unclasp-reclasp)
•
Make sure everyone is participating in the challenge.
Time
Introduction Ice-breaker activity- Knots: To practise cooperation, communication and team work revised in previous lessons, while working to achieve a goal.
In groups, students stand in a circle, shoulder to shoulder. Students close their eyes, place one hand in the middle of the circle and gasp another students’ hand. Repeat this with the other hand. From here, students try to untangle the ‘knot’ they have created with their arms, into a circle. Students are not allowed to let go of each other’s hands throughout the game.

Skill development To further emphasize teamwork, cooperation, communication while working to achieve a goal. Build bodily awareness, coordination and use a variety of body parts and movements
Activity- Loop the hoop: In groups, students stand in a circle holding hands. Two students unclasp hands, and reclasp through a hoop. On teachers signal, the group is to pass the hoop around the circle without letting any hands go. The task is finished when the hoop returns to its initial position. Increase difficulty by adding another hoop to the link. Pass hoops around in same direction from opposite ends of the circle, without breaking hands apart.
To understand the concept of inclusion and develop social skills, by working as a whole class to achieve a goal. Demonstrate body and space awareness.
•
Communicate instructions of the lesson clearly
•
Encourage students to try different techniques and strategies.
•
Give feedback to the group about how well they are cooperating or not cooperating
•
Encourage students to voice out loud different strategies to help their team members.
Equipment needed: two hoops per group Ask students to line up in order of height in their groups. Give each team member a 1, 2 or 3 number. Group students with same numbers. As each student is different, these new groups allow students the experience of working with different personalities.
Equipment: CD player, small and larger, different coloured hoops. Activity- Musical hoops 10 hoops of different sizes and colours are placed on the ground, spaced safely throughout the playing area. When music starts, students move as instructed (walk, skip, gallop etc.) throughout the general space avoiding the hoops. When the music stops, students get into a hoop as quickly as possible. Students must help each other to stand in a hoop. Hoops must stay on the ground at all times, and must not be stood on. Aim of the game is that all students are in a hoop by the start of the next round. Increase difficulty by taking a certain amount of hoops away after each round. Increase difficulty by only allowing students get in a hoop of a certain colour.
•
Encourage children to help each other out and work together to keep all students in hoops
•
Keep an eye out and stop any misbehaviour such as pushing, shoving, etc by giving quiet warnings.
•
Emphasize the importance of participation of all class members.

•
Quick hand-signal survey of feelings about the lesson (thumbs up, thumb on the side, thumbs down)
•
Students have an oral self- reflection discussion about the lesson and working in groups. They discuss different strategies or skills that were used throughout the activities to achieve the group/class goal. Teacher explains that next week’s lesson will build off this week’s lesson, but will involve more teamwork as a whole class to achieve the overall goal.

Quick Activity - 1, 2, 3 cross. Class stands in square shape with equal distance between students. When teacher calls ‘1’ students from directed opposite sides move as instructed (walk, skip, gallop) to the opposite side of square, without touching anyone. When teacher calls 2, other sides repeat action. When ‘3’ is called, all try to move to their opposite side without touching anyone.
•
Main activity: Parachute – class in a circle around the parachute aim is for everyone to be able to get underneath the parachute after being lifted by class. Vary the activity.
•
Build on this by placing balls in middle of parachute and work together to bounce the balls, causing a ‘popcorn effect’
6. Whole Class
•
Quick Activity – Caterpillar walk – class form a line like a long caterpillar. Everyone takes a leg of the player in front of them and holds it in their hand. Then everyone hops at the same time after the leader hops – leaders change every so often, guide the rest of the class in a line across the gym.
