Instructional Materials

To deliver this lesson, the teacher will use the following materials:

Whiteboard or chart
Markers or chalk
Open space for physical activities

Rationale for the Lesson

Understanding how to move our bodies safely and effectively is crucial for physical growth and overall well-being. This lesson lays the foundation for future lessons on more complex movements and sports.

Prerequisite/Previous Knowledge

The teacher will start by asking pupils how they move from one place to another, encouraging them to share their experiences. This will lead into a discussion about different types of movement.

Lesson Content

Moving Our Body Parts – Leaping and Walking

this lesson explores how we move our bodies, focusing on leaping and walking.

Leaping:

leaping involves a large jump to move quickly from one point to another.
These include:

Bending knees
Pushing off the ground
Landing on both feet
Swinging arms for balance
Maintaining a forward gaze

Walking:

Walking is a regular movement for moving from place to place.
These include:

keeping a straight back
Swinging arms gently
Taking small steps
Maintaining a steady pace
Looking ahead

Safety Rules in Leaping and Walking:

Safety rules are important to prevent injuries while moving.
These include:

Always be aware of surroundings and look where you’re going.
Avoid running into others and be cautious on uneven surfaces.
Ensure adequate space for movement
Wear appropriate footwear
Warm-up before engaging in physical activities

Non-locomotor Movements:

Non-locomotor movements are movements without changing location.
Examples are:

Bending
Stretching
Twisting
Balancing
Swaying

Lesson keywords

Leaping – A large jump to move quickly.
Walking – Regular movement for moving from place to place.
Non-locomotor movements – Movements without changing location.
Safety Rules – Guidelines to prevent injuries while moving.

Lesson Evaluation

To evaluate the learning, the teacher asks pupils to:

What are two ways we move our bodies that we learned about today?
What are two safety rules to remember when leaping or walking?
Name three non-locomotive movements.
Can you think of other ways we move our bodies?
Why is it critically important to follow safety rules when moving?

Observation: Observe pupils’ participation in activities, their understanding of concepts, and their ability to follow safety rules.

Assignment/Homework

Practice leaping and walking at home, following the safety rules.
List five different non-locomotor movements you can do.
Explain why it is important to warm up before exercising.

Differentiation

For slower learners: Provide one-on-one assistance during practice.
For advanced learners: Challenge them to create their own sequences of movements.
For visual/auditory/kinesthetic learners: Use visual aids, verbal instructions, and hands-on activities to cater to different learning styles.

Note for Teachers

Ensure adequate space for physical activities and closely supervise pupils during practice to prevent injuries.Emphasize the importance of following safety rules at all times.
