Anticipatory Activity for Lesson: N/A

Warm Up: The students will enter the gym and begin exercising. They can choose between push-ups, crunches, jumping jacks, or running in place. Students will also recite math problems from the projector during exercise. Activity: Hospital Tag. The object is to tag as many players as possible, while avoiding being tagged. On Go, you are all It. Move inside the boundaries. When you hear, Hospital Tag, try to tag others, using a 2-finger tag. If tagged, you have a wound. Put a bandage (1 hand) on it. Keep trying to tag others, now with your other hand. If tagged a 2nd time, put your other hand on the new wound. When you receive your 3rd tag, move outside the boundaries to our hospital, and complete an exercise to improve wellness (10 jumping jacks, pushups, or sit ups) and re-enter the game. Cool Down: Leg stretches. Modeling: During my instruction, I will demonstrate to the students how to play the game.
