PHED 4650: PHYSICAL ACTIVITY LESSON PLAN
Teacher Education Candidate: Molly Breyne, Cari LaMolinare
Date of Implemented Lesson Plan: 10-17-2011
Specific Lesson Topic: Children’s Fitness Circuit
Grade Level: 1
Stage 1 The Desired Results
Georgia Physical Education
Standard(s)
PE1.4: Achieves and maintains a health enhancing level of physical
fitness.
Specific Learning Objective(s)
Psychomotor
a. Participates in fitness and conditioning related activities.
Examples:
Participates in moderate to vigorous activity continuously for at least 5
minutes.
Traverses along a rock wall with little teacher assistance.
b. Identifies physiological indicators that accompany moderate to
vigorous physical activities. Examples:
After playing crab soccer, students are able to identify breathing hard
as an example of physical exertion.
Recognizes that doing push-ups makes your arm muscles tired.
Recognizes that stomach muscles get tired when doing sit-ups or
crunches.
Identifies that the heart beats faster after dancing or moving vigorously.

Sequence of Teacher Actions:
*Motivation/Attention Getter/Set
Induction/Introduction
Teacher One: Molly
The teacher will:
1. Ask the class to pick a station, no more than 4 per station
2. Begin with a warm-up march to get students moving
3. While doing march, move feet closer together, then farther apart
4. After warm-up, lead students in stretching activities for each muscle group
*Significant Teacher Actions to
Guide the Focal Activity
Teacher Two: Cari
The teacher will:
1. Introduce the skills to be learned
2. Demonstrate proper jump rope technique (have students try each new
skill/movement)
3. Demonstrate different ways to hula hoop
4. Demonstrate running in place, bringing knees to chest
5. Demonstrate proper lunge technique
6. Demonstrate proper crab walk

*Technology enrichment (Select a
website pertinent to your activity
that parents/students may access.)
Sequence of Student Actions:
*Student Engagement During
Lesson
(What will students actually be
doing? This is where you describe
the actual activities in greater
detail.)
* Student Demonstration of
Meeting Objective(s)
Teacher Action:
*Lesson Closure/WrapUp/Transition
Adaptations for Exceptional
Students (How will you modify for
students with disabilities?)
Related Activities/Extensions:
(How could students take what they
learned from the lesson to apply at
home or elsewhere?)
Integration or Connection to
Other Content Areas:
(Try to think of ways to bring in
course content to the lesson
activity.)
7. Demonstrate proper chest pass
Explain to students that they will have a turn at each circuit and each circuit will
last 45 seconds

The students will:
1. Complete each individual circuit when the music begins and stop and transition
when the music stops
2. Jump rope for 45 seconds using technique of their choice, i.e. skipping, bunny
hop, or side-to-side
3. Hula-hoop for 45 seconds with the hula-hoop around their waist, arm, neck, or
foot
4. Run in place for 45 seconds, making sure to bring their knees up to their chest
5. Pick up a set of weights and complete lunges for 45 seconds
6. Compete in a crab relay race for 45 seconds; group of 4 compete two at a time,
while groups of three will compete one at a time
7. Group themselves in a circle formation and chest pass the ball to one another
for 45 seconds, while feet are planted and only bend at the waist
The teacher will:
1. Conduct cool down stretches
2. Check for understanding:
a. What parts of the body did we work?
b. After each circuit, did your heart rate go up or down? Why?
c. What was your favorite circuit?
Video station could be used for remediation. For physical disabilities, provide
chairs and encourage students to use their arms to lift weights.
Encourage children to create their own circuit using items they find at home and
invite their friends to participate. After mastering the basic crab walk, challenge
students to work on their stability by raising one limb and attempting to balance
for 45 seconds.
Math: counting and keeping time
Science: using kinesthetic
Lesson Plan Agenda:
1. Warm-up transitioning into stretches
2. Explanation of activity with demonstration
3. Guided practice through skill acquisition
4. Successfully complete all six circuits
5. Cool-down
6. Check for understanding
