Name of Activity: I Love P.E. TEKS: K.1A, K.1B, K.1E, K.3A, K.3B, K.6B, K.7C, 1.1A, 1.1B, 1.3A, 1.3C, 1.4A, 1.5A, 1.6B, 1.7A, 1.7C, 2.1A, 2.1D, 2.1F, 2.2B, 2.3A, 2.5A Objective: practice locomotor skills combined with movement concepts Suggested Grade: K-2 Material Needed: 20 30 polyspots, 7 pieces of paper, music, and tape. You can folder the paper into 4 equal parts, cut it out write down the skills (skip. slide. walk. run. hop. gallop. leap. jump) and tape it in the back of the polyspots. Use different polyspots is that the teacher will remember that skill he/she wrote. Number of Student: 20 30 students Description of Idea: Spread all spots around the gym word faced down. Have the students begin with one locomotor movement and one movement concept (skip, slide, walk, and run) The students will say "I love walking slowly!" on the teachers command. When the music starts playing, they start walking slowly. When the music stops, the students continue to the closest open polyspot and stand on it. The teacher will call on one student (who she knows is standing on a locomotor polyspot) and one student standing on a movement concept polyspot. They will turn over their spots and read the slip of paper taped to it, out loud to the class. The class will respond with "I love ______ _______" with the verb (locomotor movement) and descriptor (movement concept). They will then do the movement when the music starts. Variations: Include pictures with the words on the bottom of the polyspots to help nonreaders and beginning readers. Assessment Ideas: The teacher will observe students during each task to determine which skills and/or movement concepts need more instruction and/or practice. A checklist for each skill and movement concept would help the teacher remember specific students' needs. The teacher could also video record the activity in order to have time later to write down their assessments of individual students.
