Throwing/Jumping

Lesson 1

30 min. lesson

A.E.E.C.

Equipment:      -   Yarnballs, jump ropes, and tape.

Protocols:            -Line up time is quite time.

                        -When the teacher talks the students listen.

                        -When you hear the whistle you are to freeze.

                        -Stay in your own personal space.

                        -AEEC clap/chant and then silence.

Teacher Objectives:    - The teacher is trying to introduce jumping rope and the

skill of throwing.  Here the teacher is going over cues and tips to make the students better at a given skill.  The teacher is reinforcing protocol, rules, and other practices we follow in physical education classes.

Student Objectives:    - The students are to listen, follow directions, work on

social skills, and to practice and participate in activities of the class.

Instant Activity:   -

(5-7 min.)                   Listening to the beat.   Demonstrate three tempos and give

each tempo a designated movement.  One tempo represents a run, one represents a walk and one represents jumping (may have to demonstrate jumping.)  The lack of sound means no movement.  Have the students stand and prepare to move according to the tempo. 

Lesson Focus:          

        A) Beginning jumping-

            -Have the students find a rope and stretch it out long on the floor.  Jump over it keeping both feet together.  Practice several times.

            -Have the students hold one handle in each hand and form a U- shape in front of them.  The bottom of the U should be touching the ground.  Now jump over the U and then throw the rope over your head.  Now make the U- shape again.  Repeat several times.  Practice  the throw, stop, look down at U-shape, and jump over…

            -Put the rope away and get a yarn ball from the wall.  Then sit down in "personal space."

        B) Beginning throwing-

            -While sitting down, make your yarn ball go in an upward direction, but only as high as you can reach.  Practice this several times. 

            -Can you stand and throw the yarn ball in a downward direction?  Try it a gain.                          

-Can you throw your yarn ball in a forward direction and follow it? Throw it and follow it, etc.  Cue: point, throw

            -Can you throw into an open space?  Try throwing into an area where nothing or no one is.

            -Can you find something on the wall and throw at it?  Cue: look at target.

Practice throwing at a target several times.  How many times can you hit your target?  What are you looking at when you are throwing at a something?

            -Now put the yarn ball up where you got it and sit near the teacher.

Conclusion:   Q&A
