ACTIONS

Goals, Objectives, & Essential Questions

A. Broad Goal: Students will learn to work together and be able to reflect on
their performance in working as a team as they engage in physical activity.

B. Objectives:
1. Given instructions students will participate in movements and
freeze at the sound of a whistle with 100% accuracy.
2. Given instructions students will be able to divide into groups of
three or a “Santa” alone and develop a strategy on how they will
get into a “chimney” (inside the linked groups of three). Students
will participate with 100% accuracy.
3. Given instructions students will work together as groups
(teamwork) of three in movement without breaking apart, with
100% accuracy.

C. Essential Questions:
1. Can I follow basic instructions?
2. How can I be part of developing a strategy, to get into a free
“chimney”/ not lose a “chimney” (3 person linked group)?
3. How can I work as a team, with my partners, to move around at
the same time, staying joined together?

Procedures (30 minutes total)

1. ( 3 min.) Students will gather in the center of the gym for warm up activity, “Freeze

Move”.

i. To play: students move around the gym by what “movement” was

called out (ie: walk like a chicken) until the whistle is blown. When

the whistle blows students freeze. Another movement is called out, and

repeats.

2. ( 3 min.) Warm-Up Activity – “Freeze Move” *Participation check list*

3. ( 3 min.) Hook/ Review of Warm-Up. Students will gather in the center of the gym

and be led in a brief discussion. *Participation check list*

“Did everyone enjoy that game of Freeze Move? Today we are

going to play "Santa’s Chimneys". In this game we will be

 working on strategy (thinking of a plan) and working together as a

team!

4. ( 4 min.) Students will be given instructions for playing “Santa’s Chimneys” and a

few safety rules: running safely in a group, no pushing a “santa” out or blocking a

“santa” from coming in.

i. They will be counted off by 1, 2, 3, 4… and split into groups of 3, with

the “4s” all together. There will be at least two less groups of 3 than

there is of the number 4s. Game is played on the court. Have 3

students join hands to make a chimney.  Have the other player ( 4 )

inside the circle to represent the Santas.  Leave a couple Santas

without chimneys, in other words you need a couple less chimneys

than you have Santas.  On the teachers signal, all Santas must leave

their chimney and try to find another one.  The Santas that do not find

a chimney are encouraged to find a chimney on the next round. To add

more movement, after the first round, have the chimneys run/ walk fast

as groups around the gym, while the Santas try to get inside- once a

Santa is inside the chimney must stop moving. After a couple of

rounds, switch around so that Santas can become trees, vice versa. (15

min) Play “Capture the Lion” *Participation check list*

5. (15 min) Game, Play “Santa’s Chimneys”

6. ( 2 min) Closing

“Great job today! Everyone followed directions. What did we

practice today? You have shown good teamwork!”
