Play the Freeze game
Do warm up learnt from previous lessons
1. Warm up Understand and explain the components of fitness and how fitness is measured.
(10 mins) By establishing some good running habits, they will be able to run longer, be more successful, and have
more fun!
The easiest way to get their pace under control is to teach them in real time. Take them out for a run! Break
it up with a few minutes of running at an easy pace and walking. Teach the kids to talk.
2. Jogging and running are both different in pace and execution.
( mins) Jogging is a low to moderate intensity where the speed is low,
Running, on the other hand, is a moderate to high intensity running pace. The speed is relatively high
Sprinting is usually used to describe an activity that requires you to exert a full effort

Dominoes
Develop running, acceleration and starting skills.
Ground markers.
Players arrange themselves in a straight line, all facing in the same direction towards a designated "finish
line".
Standing at the head of the line, the leader calls "On your marks . . . Set. . ." but does not call "Go!". Instead,
they tap the player closest to them on the elbow or shoulder as a signal for this player to begin running to
the finish line. Each player is then not allowed to begin running until the player immediately before them in
line has done so.
This creates a domino effect. The game can be made competitive by asking players to attempt to pass the
person who started immediately before them.
Wacky Laps
There are times when running laps around a quarter- or eighth-mile track is necessary—but it never has to
be boring. To make running laps more fun and interesting for your students, introduce Wacky Laps, in
which they run every lap in a different (and wacky!) way. Students can run the first lap to music, the second

lap backward, and the third lap as slowly as possible. They can run a lap weaving among cones, another
while holding hands with a partner, and another jumping over mini-hurdles (such as bean bags or any
other small item that won’t trip them up). Letting the students brainstorm their own Wacky Laps is another
great way to keep them engaged.
World Record
JUMP START: Great Ideas for group games
Speed and acceleration development.
Stopwatch, whistle.
3. Players line up at the start of a 100m track.
On command, the players run as fast as they can down a 100m track.
( mins)
At the time that the starting command is given, the leader activates the stopwatch. When the time on the
stopwatch reaches the current men's or women's world record, the leader blows their whistle. At this signal,
the players note how far down the track they would be in comparison to the current world record holder.
This activity can be done for most track events.

Circle Chase
Players form a large circle, facing in an anti-clockwise direction. Each is
given a number "1" or "2" or "3".
The leader calls "On your marks . . . Set . . . " and then one of the above numbers. Players of this
4.
number must sprint around the outside of the circle and back to their place again. Players
( mins)
attempt to be the first back to their place.
Ask the players to only overtake other runners by passing them on their outside.
Players not running MUST NOT interfere with the runners as they go by.
Players must all run in the same direction around the outside of the circle.
4. Wrap-up (5’) Cool down and go over why and what the different running styles are.
