PART 1: INTRODUCTORY ACTIVITY (2-3 mins): Yarn Ball

Activity Teaching Hints

Each child has a yarn ball. Allows students
to kick, throw, or move with the ball for a
designated time. On signal, place the balls
on the floor and perform movements
around, between and over the balls.
Place the yarn balls around the perimeter of

Two-Step Gallop: 30 seconds
REPEAT once.
Tell students which fitness activity they are
performing such as aerobic or strength
development and flexibility.
Music: Perform activities (for 25 or 30
seconds)
No Music: Explain the next activity

PART 3: LESSON FOCUS (15-20 mins): Cooperation Activities

Activity Teaching Hints

1. Set the Stage: During this first step
it is the teacher's job to sell the
activity with the following
information:
-What is the challenge
-What are the rules
2. Facilitate: Once the stage has been set,
-Only the essential information to get the
group going is provided.
-Allow the students to work on their own.
Simply monitor the group for safety and
answer any questions students may have.
-Make sure the questions foster discussion
the teacher's role is to step back and let the
students work.
3. Debrief: The foundation of debriefing
is open-ended questions.
-What did you have to do in order to
accomplish a goal
-What does communicate mean?
-What happened that was positive?

PART 4: GAME ACTIVITY (5 mins): Quiet Cooperation, Human Spelling Bee, All

Activity Teaching Hints

Human Spelling Bee: Quiet Cooperation:

Groups of 5-6 students *Remind students not to talk.
Supplies: None *Students may use their fingers to create
Students are challenged with spelling out numbers and or letters to communicate
words, letter by letter, with their bodies amongst one another.

4. Mathematical equations could also be
written (i.e. 7x7=49), one number and
symbol at a time. All Aboard:
Closure Evaluation: *Remind students to have one foot inside
1. How was math integrated into this the hoop
activity? * Students are not allowed to push one
2. Would your group have been another out of the hoop
successful if they didn't cooperate?
All Aboard:
Groups of 10-12 students
Supplies: 15 hoops
Students are challenged to get as many
students as possible into one hoop placed
on the ground. In order for a person to be
considered on board, one foot must be
touching the ground inside of the hoop and
no body parts touching the floor outside the
hoop. One technique to lead up to this
activity is to play musical hoops. Hoops are
scattered throughout the gym and music is
playing. When the music stops students
move to a hoop, placing a least one foot
inside the hoop. More than one student can
be in a hoop. Each time the music plays the
teacher removes one or two hoops until
only enough hoops remain for all students
to be aboard.
Closure/Evaluation:
1. Raise your hand if you can recall
what was the most important thing
to remember during this game?

Quiet Cooperation:
Groups of 10-12 students.
Supplies: One marking spot for each
student.
Students stand in a line shoulder to
shoulder with a marking spot under their
feet. Without talking, making any noise, or
touching the gym floor, students get in
order using these criteria:
1. Number of pets (fewest to most).
2. Alphabetically by first name
(fathers, mothers, or pet name can
also be used).
3. Alphabetical by last name.
4. Month of birthday (January to
December or vice versa).
5. Shortest to tallest.
Closure Evaluation:
1. What skills were needed for this
game?
2. Why was it important that you
 listened to the directions?

Modifications
CLOSURE: EVALUATION/REVIEW AND CHEER (1-2 MINUTES)
Ask students how many people fit in one hoop?
Ask students if they can recall one aerobic activity they performed during the fitness activity.
