Subject/Grade: Grade 2 P.E. Lesson/Date: Indigenous Games 12/10/21 Time: 30 min.

Stage 1: Desired Results

Lesson This lesson is based on two traditional Indigenous games called Run and Scream, and Sled
Overview: Jump where students execute skills such as running, jumping, lung strength, and spatial
awareness. Run and Scream requires students to run as far as they can in one breath until they
can no longer scream, in which at that point are required to stop immediately. Sled Jump is an
activity that requires students to practice two foot take off and landing. The purpose of this
lesson is to recognize the connection between playing these games and increased physical
abilities while understanding the history and purpose. Using direct instruction, I will give a
brief lesson on the history of Indigenous games including the purpose, materials used, and how
these games were originally played. Using experimental learning, students will learn how to
execute these Indigenous games. By the end of the lesson, students will have gained skills and
knowledge on Indigenous sports and physical activity.
GOs: Students will: acquire skills through a variety of developmentally appropriate movement
activities; dance, games, types of gymnastics, individual activities and activities in an
alternative environment; e.g., aquatics and outdoor pursuits.
SOs: Students will:
A2–1 select and perform locomotor skills involved in a variety of activities
Lesson Students will:
Objectives  Execute skills such as running and lung strength by participating in an Indigenous game
called Run and Scream.
 Execute skills of jump and spatial awareness to reach a specific line on the gym floor as
part of an adapted Inuit game called Sled Jump.

what they learned today.
Stage 4: Reflection
1. How the students responded to the lesson as planned and taught:
Students took a lot of information they learned during the Inuksuk lesson and applied it to today’s lesson
which informed me formatively that students understood many aspects of Inuit culture and Canada’s
territories. I was pleased to see students pushing themselves and not becoming defeated if their first try failed.
I could see that they were all very determined. Additionally, it was beneficial for students to be able to apply
their knowledge and understand further about Indigenous culture to other modalities such as creating (prior
lesson) and acting.
2. Specific strengths of the lesson plan and delivery:
The biggest strength of this lesson would be that this lesson scaffolded off a prior social lesson and allowed
students to connect what they are learning in the classroom to other areas of the school where they can learn
Subject/Grade: Grade 2 P.E. Lesson/Date: Indigenous Games 12/10/21 Time: 30 min.
in different ways. This allowed students to build on their knowledge which will ultimately help for memory
retention.
3. Specific weaknesses in the lesson plan and delivery:
One noticeable weakness was the area in which they were to perform these activities. For the run and scream
game, not all students were pushed to their ultimate potential because the gym’s length was not long enough
for them to run out of breath.
4. What must be addressed to improve this plan?
I think this lesson would be highly effective outside in the field. Not only would students have the space to
push themselves, but I could also connect an important aspect of Indigenous culture to our lesson which is the
appreciation for the land and how it provides many things for us.
5. How I have grown from this teaching experience:
This experience was straight forward but I pushed myself to step out of my comfort zone and do things that
hold a lot of importance and pressure where there is a high potential to fail if prepped and performed
incorrectly.
