Lesson Title: Movement Match Subject: Physical Education

Unit Title: Fun and Movement Time Required: 40 minutes

Grade: Grade. 4 Date: November 25, 2022

Learning Goals/ Outcomes (What do you want the students to know or be able to do at the end of the lesson?)
Our educators are responsible for executing and concentrating on the kids' requirements. We've observed that
many kids don't engage in physical activity due to COVID-19. We want kids to be able to move around while
participating in and enjoying the Movement Match activity. The children can use this activity to work on their
cognitive abilities by matching their hands and feet to the ones on the construction paper. Still, they can also
exercise and develop their gross motor skills by getting down on all fours to participate in the activity.
Success Criteria (What will you observe that tells you that students are successful?)
When observing the kids, we would pay attention to whether they could match their foot with the one on the paper
and check if they could reach the hand in the right place to make sure they understood the concept of the
experience. For this exercise, the goal isn't just to check if the kids can match their hands and feet; it's also to
ensure that simple games like the Movement Match game encourage physical activity so that kids can live
pleasant, safe lives.
Accommodations/ Modifications (How will you meet the needs of your students? What management strategies
will you use?)
Since it is our responsibility as educators to meet the needs of the students, working with families and conducting
research on how much physical activity each child needs enables us to collaborate and act in the students' best
interests. Children interact with and learn the most from parents and teachers, so it is important that both of these
groups collaborate and seek input on how to create new activities that will benefit both kids and families.
Following the activity, we will give the kids an opportunity to participate in an open group discussion or a survey
that they can complete individually or with their families. On these forms, they can describe their experiences,
indicate whether they liked the activity or not, and offer suggestions for how to improve it in the future. We will be
able to learn from these remarks and feedback and choose the following actions so that we can carry out other
initiatives in the future.
Background Knowledge Required (What prior knowledge and experiences need to be in place?)
Physical literacy is a skill that will take time to master, just like reading and math. As your child's muscles and
brain development and as you provide them practice chances, be understanding and encouraging. Negative
experiences in the past are a major factor in why kids don't like physical activity, which leads to a decline in
involvement. As educators, it is our responsibility to speak positively to kids and be role models they can look up
to so they may feel secure and confident engaging in physical activity.
Curriculum Expectations (Which expectation is the focus of your instruction?)
Expression: Since the kids can comment on the exercise and suggest adjustments, this foundation will be included. Children
will be able to express themselves and feel supported as a result. Moving around is another way for kids to express
themselves. Children will be able to express themselves during this exercise by being able to move.

Wellbeing: This foundation will be put into effect throughout the experience as we work to improve and further educate kids
about their general physical health and the significance of maintaining our bodies in good condition. Children are able to
connect with parents and families to discuss how we can better meet their expectations going forward thanks to this
experience, which also encourages open dialogue and general feedback about how to improve the activity.

Assessment (How will you know that the students have achieved the learning expectation? What assessment tool
will you use?)
When students display a grasp of physical movement and actively engage in the activity, we will know that they
have met the learning requirements. A survey will be offered to children to assess their enjoyment of the activity
in order to gauge their involvement. If the lesson plan was successful, it would be a sign that the students enjoyed
being active and were ready to take part in activities that required movement.
Materials Key Questions

- Construction Paper - How will this activity benefit young children’s physical
- Scissors health?
- Hot glue gun - What can we do to further enhance this activity?
- Pencil

Instruction (How will the students develop the knowledge and /practice the skills?.)
Duration Activity/Task
Introduction (How will you engage and motivate the students?)
5 minutes - With given construction paper, children will be asked to trace their hands and feel
on paper and cut them out.
- Then, children will be asked to line up and instructions on the activity will be
provided.

Body of Lesson (Describe the lesson.)

- Each child will take turns moving across long construction paper with cut-out hands
30 minutes and feet.
- The goal is for the child to move across the paper using their own hands and feet
according to the cutouts on the paper.
- For the first round, children will move at their own pace, however for the second
round, educators will call out which hand or feet will be placed first on paper as
they will have to try to move to the next set of instructions without removing their
body from paper (ex. left hand on paper, next right foot… and so on)
- Finally for the last round, there will be a given time period for children to move
across the paper (ex. children would have 2 mins to move across the paper with
educators instructions from the previous round).

Conclusion (How will you wrap-up the lesson?)

5 minutes - To wrap up the lesson, children will be asked to share their thoughts on the activity
with the class and discuss the importance of movement.

Next Steps (What would you plan as a follow-up to this lesson? What homework would you assign?)
To follow up with this lesson, we could ask children to go home and design an activity that promotes physical
movement. This can be expressed through a drawing, or children can write it down on paper. After children
have come up with their activity, they will be asked to perform their activity at home with family members or
friends and they will share with the class about how their activity went through.
Lesson Title: Musical Hoops Subject: Physical Education
Unit Title: Fundamental movement skills Time 30-40 minutes
Required:
Grade: Grade. 4 Date: November 26th, 2022

Learning Goals/ Outcomes (What do you want the students to know or be able to do at the end of the lesson?)
The children will engage in an activity that helps them improve basic movement abilities, such as balance and
running, by using various materials like hula hoops and music to enhance the experience. During the music, the
children will run about the space dodging the hula hoops. When the music stops, the children must go to a hula
hoop and balance themselves inside it while standing on one foot.

Success Criteria (What will you observe that tells you that students are successful?)
The educator would observe the children while they engage in this activity and watch them do the various skills.
Observing and identifying children who might struggle with any movements would be done. The key lesson
learned from this experience is that children should enjoy physical activity. We'll be able to determine whether the
children are successful once they appear to be having fun and participating. To encourage physical literacy, it is
essential to support the children if they are having trouble with any movement skills required for this activity. This
step would help create a positive experience for the children.

Accommodations/ Modifications (How will you meet the needs of your students? What management strategies will you use?)
To meet the needs of the students, we would provide an opportunity for the children to be involved in this lesson
plan. This activity's adaptability and the ability to include a variety of fundamental movement skills would allow
the students to be involved in the planning of this activity. Beforehand, we might work together as a class to
decide what kinds of movements to include. For instance, we may adapt it to hopping instead of balancing in the
hula hoop. After the exercise, the class might discuss the positive and negative aspects. With that information, the
educators could use it to create modifications for the next time this activity is implemented or even for different
activities they might plan.

Background Knowledge Required (What prior knowledge and/or experiences need to be in place?)
The children would have already taken part in the Movement Match exercise before participating in this one. As it
strongly emphasized improving motor skills, this learning strategy would have assisted in developing the
fundamental movement skills for this task. These two skills would benefit a child's physical literacy and physical
development. Understanding physical literacy and the significance of making sure the initial encounter is positive
should be done by educators executing this lesson plan. It would be our responsibility to establish an environment
free of bias where all children can feel included and safe. By doing this, you can ensure that the children feel safe
and can participate to the fullest. The educators should also be knowledgeable about how children can develop
fundamental movement skills and the kinds of skills that can be incorporated into this lesson plan.

Curriculum Expectations (Which expectation is the focus for your instruction?)

This learning plan will help build on the four foundations of learning to ensure that children have a positive
experience since the first lesson plan concentrated on the foundations of engagement and well-being.
Belonging: Ensuring the children feel valued and safe in the space will help maintain this foundation. This activity
would be accomplished by taking into account any improvements the children may request through their
comments and discussions. This foundation will also be cultivated by making the place safe and inviting for the
children.
Expression: This foundation will be incorporated since the children can give feedback on the activity and make
changes. This will enable children to express themselves and feel supported. Another method that children can
express themselves is through movement. The ability to move during this activity will allow children to express
themselves.
Assessment (How will you know that the students have achieved the learning expectation? What assessment tool will you use?)
It would be possible to determine if the students have met the learning objectives by watching the children as they
participate in physical activities throughout time. Using a rubric as the assessment tool, it would be possible to
track changes in the students' fundamental movement skills and some of the difficulties they encountered. Making
notes about which students have mastered particular abilities and whatever problems they may be having is one
way to use the rubric. Educators can use this evaluation tool to organize future lessons focusing on areas where
students struggle to help them develop and improve.

Materials Key Questions

- big gym /outdoor play area
- hula hoops - how does this activity allow children to maintain a
- music healthy physical lifestyle in a fun and creative way?
-what are the limitations of this activity?

Instruction (How will the students develop the knowledge and /practice the skills?.)
Duration Activity/Task
Introduction (How will you engage and motivate the students?)
5-7 mins - Each child will receive a hula hoop and will be instructed to place the hula hoop
anywhere on the gym or outdoor play areas floor. This will be done in order to
engage the children by allowing them to help set up.
- We will then give the children the instructions and tell them how to play the game.

Body of Lesson (Describe the lesson.)

- While the music is playing the children are free to dance around to the music,
20 mins however they will avoid the hula hoops.
- The goal of this is to allow the children to freely move in a fun/creative way to
promote physical literacy.
- We will take out one hula hoop so there is one less than the amount of children there
are.
- When the music stops the children have to race to a hula hoop and stand inside of it.
They will race to the hula hoop after hearing our instructions which will be, run,
skip, hop to the hula hoops, etc.
- The child that does not get into a hula hoop in time will do a silly dance or exercise
and then will join the game again for the next round so he/she is not just sitting out
for the remainder of the game.

Conclusion (How will you wrap-up the lesson?)

 10 mins -To wrap this up we will ask the children to help us collect all the hula hoops.
- We will then sit in a circle and discuss our favorite parts, things that we found difficult.
and what they would like to add to the activity to get the childrens input.
- We will then ask the children open-ended questions like “why do you think movement is
important?”

Next Steps (What would you plan as a follow-up to this lesson? What homework would you assign?)
To follow up this lesson plan we would take the input we received from the children and use it to improve the
lesson plan. We may also ask them to go home and watch some youtube videos on movement games they
enjoy or they can write down or draw any ideas. They can also share some activities they do at home with
their family.
