As a result from this activity the kids will learn how to use basic motor skills, which they can apply in
everyday life. As well as a child will learn to do numerous actions in a row. With this activity they will also
build social skills.

Preparation (for the teacher):

In order to get ready for this the teacher
will need to collect all needed supplies and
set up the obstacle course. As well as plan
on which kids will work as a team in order
to be successful in completing the lesson.

Preparation (for the student):

When the kids come in before the race can
start we must all stretch as a group and then
properly be paired with their partners.

Three questions to provoke critical

thinking:

Hula Hoops (to hop through)

Foam Triangle Climbing Pad (climb
over)
Cones (to run around)
Plastic slide (to go down)
Bat (to put their nose to and spin 2x)

What was your favorite part of the

course? And why?
What was the hardest part for you? And
why?
What was the easiest part? And why?

Ways students can represent learning:

Ways students can reflect on learning:

Students can represent learning by

paying attention and completing the task
being asked, or at least attempting to
finish the task to the best of their ability.

After the obstacle course has been

complete will cover our 3 reflective
questions to make them think about
what they did today. What was hard?
Easy and the favorite part?

Assessment strategies (ways to document that objectives were met):

The best way to assess physical activity would to be based on effort and completion.
If child completes the task and followed the directions given then he did well on the
lesson. If a child does not listen to you, refuses to participate and or doesnt try the
child will not receive full credit

Connections/bridges/extensions:
A good real life connection to obstacle course would be talking about hiking and

swimming and running. All things you can do in real life.

Follow-up analysis/reflection (How did participants/children respond? What worked?
What would you change?):
Not applicable until obstacle course is complete. However, I would assume that most
students would actually really enjoy this obstacle course. It is fun and they get to
work with a friend to make them motivate each other. The only thing I maybe would
change as if working in teams was a good idea or if they should complete it
individually. But, over all I feel like it would be a really successful lesson.
