FOCUS
AREA

Warm Up- Stork Tag

2 taggers selected
Taggers chase runners
If runners are tagged they must stand on the spot in a stork stance
4-6 runners carry hoops and cannot be tagged
A tagged runner may be freed by a fellow runner by jumping in and out of
a hoop- two foot jump over a height into and out of the hoop
Modification: Hoops should be placed on the ground rather than the air
Extension: Increase the height of the hoop when jumping in and out of it
or have fewer players with hoops

Warm Up- Stretch

Specific stretches to lengthen and warm involved body parts- students
may be asked to run this teaching component (non-participants can run
this component also or be involved)
Examples: hamstrings, calves, triceps, biceps, neck, back
Introduction of Basic Springs
In a circuit formation, students will rotate through stations in groups of 4,
practicing;

Straight, star, tuck, stag, straddle, pike, split jump

Jump half and full turn: arm circle, jump, arms close to body,
turn

Scissor, stride, change leg, side leap

Bunny hop: straight arms, two feet take off and landing

(RE, FMS)
16 gym mats
distributed around
the room (Shared
between groups)
(FMS, RE,
GS)

Springs Sequence
Students in their groups of 4 will be asked to combine a series of at least 4
springs and perform a creative sequence to the class
Everyone in the group must be involved and the performance must flow
Introduction of Basic Landings
In a circuit formation, students will rotate through in groups of 4, practicing;

Landings on feet- motorbike landing

Landings on hands

Landings backwards

KTPs: feet shoulder width, contact with ball of feet first, plant
heels
Progression of Landings
In a circuit formation, students will rotate through stations in groups of 4,
practicing;

Landing on feet

Run and jump as high as possible and land correctly

Land on benches with straight jump

Change of body shape when jumping and land

correctly

Increase height of take off

Landing on hands

From kneeling to crouch stand

Landing backwards

Back safety roll from squat down incline

Practice on floor from a squat position and then

standing

Final Activity
Students will be divided into even teams and complete a line of leap frog
series over their team in a kneeled position, then a crouched position
Competition against other teams may be introduced to complete the
lesson
Learner Diversity

Have non-participants spot, help groups, judge final activity or run

stretching session- create series of stretches

Non-participants or weaker students may help spot positions

Smaller groups increases maximum participation

Have demonstrations of each activity and position to assist weaker

students understanding

Clear concise instructions

Provide activity alternatives- challenges and modifications for

weaker and stronger students

Confirm understanding of activity before commencement

Attend all groups and individuals- provide feedback,

encouragement and correction
