Materials: Hopscotch squares, outside
Procedure:
Opening Set/Anticipatory Set

Good morning class today it is a beautiful day! Guess what we will be doing, PE class
outside. Have you every hopped on both feet? What about just one? Well today we will be
doing a little game called hopscotch. Have any of you heard about that game before?
During the hopscotch game it is very important to keep your balanced. To make it even
harder we will be counting to 7 once you advanced to the next level of hopscotch.
Instructional Sequence

The teacher will tell the students to gain their balanced while putting both feet on
the floor arms spread apart. Tell the students to put their arms out like they are flying.
Then the teacher will tell the students to swing their arm backwards and forwards to get
the feel of swinging. Once they got their balanced and swinging down they will work out
a step at a time. Balanced then swing your arms. Once the students arms are back
behind them they get ready to hop on the hopscotch square. Now the students have
mastered all the steps to getting ready to do the activity they will repeat the steps to
become advanced.

Hop onto the hopscotch squares
Repeat- Do every step again and again

Guided Practice
Students will get in groups and line up to take their turn hopping on the hopscotch
squares.
Teacher starts out by having the first student get in ready positioned to hop onto the squares. She will
then say ready, set, go. The first student in line is in ready positioned and will hop onto the first number one
square, and then he/she will hop onto the follow squares after number one. When there is one square that
means hop onto one foot, when there are two squares that means hop on two feet. He/she will then hop all the
way to the end of the hopscotch then turn their body and head towards the front of the hopscotch.
Students will count the numbers they hop on while doing hopscotch.

Independent Practice

Set up- Put the three sets of hopscotch squares on the concrete outside. Make sure the
sets are spread apart to give the students space to be able to hop and swing arms.
Divide the students in three different groups. You can put them in two groups if there are
not many students that day. They will line up behind the first student to do the activity
while giving that student there personally space.
Closure

Teacher will ask questions and wait for answers. The students may shout out the answer
without raising their hand. Students will answer1. What were the 4 steps to get ready to hop on the hopscotch squares?
Balanced, swing, hop, repeat
2. Can anyone demonstrate how we hopscotch and count to 7 while eyes forward?
