Unit 1:
Session : 15
I. Objectives: At the end of the lesson, students will be able to:
● Develop an understanding of pace (contrasting the pace of two children, one sprinting, the other running for one minute)
● Describe and discuss movement and ask and answer questions about it (discussing the effect of an approach run on the distance jumped)
● Describe basic athletics activities and techniques
II. Teaching content: Understanding of Pace
III. Time: 40
IV. Teaching aids: Ground markers, ribbons, stopwatch.
V. Students’ assumed knowledge: Review from lesson 8 about running
VI. Procedures

Welcome SS
Understand and explain the components of fitness and how fitness is measured.
To develop their running and jumping skills.
To learn how to run in a coordinated way over obstacles.
To be able to use their bodies and variety of equipment with greater control and coordination.
By establishing some good running habits, they will be able to run longer, be more successful, and have
1. Warm up more fun!
(10 mins) 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.
Jogging and running are both different in pace and execution.
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

Develop running, acceleration and starting skills.

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.
2. ( 10 mins)
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.

Jump and Stick
With the whole class, tell a story while the students act it out.
There once was a squirrel who loved to jump. This squirrel’s name was Sproing. Sproing did not scamper
most of the time like regular squirrels, but instead hopped and jumped and leaped everywhere she went.
She woke up early every morning, stretched her arms, waved hello to the sun then scampered down her
tree to begin her day. She rarely went straight down the tree. She liked to jump from branch to branch first.
She loved it when the branch would bounce and she would have to try to keep her balance before leaping
to the next branch. The first stop in Sproing’s day was almost always the park. She would find the benches
and climb up onto the seats. She would walk carefully along the benches then jump off, making a safe
landing. She would look under the benches to see if she could find any food or treats to eat. Another one of
3. ( 10 mins) Sproing’s favourite things to do was to run along the path in the park and jump high over every crack in the
sidewalk. She liked to pretend that she was a super flying squirrel, jumping as high as she could over every
line she saw. Sproing’s day went on like that with every activity involving jumping. She hopped over small
things like leaves, she jumped over big things like rocks, she especially loved to jump over things that were
in a row – like jumping from rock to rock in the river. Sproing’s day usually ended with a visit to the garden.
She would jump from flower bed to flower bed, sniffing the beautiful flowers, reaching up to touch the tall
sunflowers and crouching down to look at the tiny pieces of grass. Sproing was usually pretty tired at the
end of the day. She liked to do a little stretching in the garden before going home to her nest. She reached
high to the sky, stretched her paws out to both sides, stretched down and touched her toes. She shook out
her legs after all of her jumping, then headed home for one leisurely climb into her tree. In her nest, she
curled up, closed her eyes and went to sleep, dreaming of another day of jumping tomorrow.
Handicap Sprints
Players line up on a straight track, each holding a ribbon. One at a time, or in groups, players jog as far as
they can down the track in a certain time. Eg. Ten seconds. When the time on the stopwatch reaches the
designated time, the leader blows their whistle. At this signal, all runners immediately drop their ribbon,
4. ( 5 mins) marking the spot they reached. After a short recovery, the groups then walk back over this distance to the
starting line.
A team element can be introduced by forming teams and having each consecutive player begin from the
point where the previous player dropped the ribbon. See how far the team can get down the track.
