Procedure
Hook Time
- Tell students “Before we get started on lots of moving today, we need to warm up our 5 min
bodies! Who can show me how we waddle like a penguin?”
- Ask one student to demonstrate
- Tell students: Let’s walk around the green line like penguins to warm up!”
- All waddle
- Tell students: “Now let’s do some high knees! Hold your hands out like this and run on
the spot with your knees touching your hands”
Transition to body: Tell students: “Great job everybody! Can you all come in and sit down
around me?
Body Time
- Explain: “Today we are going to keep practicing our HOPS! Who can remind us about the 1min
difference between a HOP and a JUMP?” (ask a student to demonstrate)
- Reminder: “A JUMP is on TWO feet, while a HOP is only on ONE foot.”
- Tell students: “We are going to start with the tightrope game today. Remember, we are 4min
HOPPING along the green line – if we fall off we do 5 jumping jacks and then join again at
the back of the line. If I come to an intersecting line, I start hopping on the other foot.”
- Play tightrope game
- Tell students: “Great hopping everyone! Come sit back down in the circle.” 5min
- Ask students: “Who remembers how to play Sun, Moon, Earth?” (Walk to the sun, jump
to the moon, walk to the earth)
o “Who can remind me which circle is our sun? Our moon? Our earth?”
- Play Sun, Moon, Earth 10min
- Ask students: “Who remembers how to play What Time is it Mr. Wolf?”
- Tell students: “Today we are going to practice our HOPPING while we play – that means
when Mr. Wolf says 5, I will hop forward FIVE times.
o Will I keep hopping or walk forward after that? No!
 - Explain: When Mr. Wolf says LUNCHTIME, we are still going to RUN back.
o Where should we STOP running? (before the green line)
o Are we playing TAG? Should Mr. Wolf touch anyone? (no)
o Who can tell me what we do when Mr. Wolf says “6 o’clock?” (6 hops)
- Ask students: “Friends, raise your hand if you have NOT been Mr. Wolf before.”
- Choose a student who hasn’t been Mr. Wolf before to start
- Play What Time is it Mr. Wolf?
- Ask students: “Alright everyone, come back to the circle!”
Transition to closure: Tell students “Great job showing your WALKING, RUNNING, JUMPING
and HOPPING today, everyone!”
Closure Time
- Ask students “Who can remind us of the DIFFERENCE between hopping and jumping? 2 min
How about walking and running?”

your hands on the way”
Assessment
Formative Assessment
- Questioning and practice demonstrate student understanding of locomotor movements
Differentiation Extensions
If students aren’t on task – ignore if not problematic for Simon Says – practice hopping, running,
other students. Can use proximity to try to help jumping and walking. Can include animal
engage. Try to ask questions to students who may not movements too.
have hands up
If needed, remind entire class about expectations (we
don’t have to scream to be able to run, we stay within
the outside green lines, we don’t touch the walls or the
benches or the stage, we WALK back to the circle when
we come back to it, we sit criss-cross-applesauce with
hands in our basket)
