Sport Pedagogy Lesson Plan Template (Elementary and Middle School)

Teacher: Zoe Eldridge

Background Information
Date: April 21, 2016

School: Cleveland Elementary

Grade Level: 3rd grade

Lesson Focus: chasing and fleeing; throwing and

catching

# Of students: 15-20 students

Equipment and Facilities:

4 cones
1 foam dice

Safety Considerations: One must be careful when on

the asphalt or grass. A student can trip, fall and get
hurt. All students need to make sure that they are
paying attention over the course of the whole lesson
and all students have enough room to engage in the
activity without getting hurt.
Lesson Specifics
Behavioral Contingencies: For every lesson, the
Previously Learned Skills: chasing and fleeing,
student that is not behaving properly will first receive throwing and catching
a warning and a reminder that the next time he or
she acts up he will have to sit out. If the student acts
up a second time, he will be asked to sit out. If a
student sits out twice over the course of the lesson, he
or she will be sent to the supervisor.
Teaching Strategy:
Academic Language: Eyes up, head up,
The strategy that will be used over this lesson is a
teacher director strategy. In this instance the students
will learn how to perform the skill from the teacher
and then practice the skill with their classmates.

Lesson Core - Task 1:

We are going to start class today with
some health and fitness exercises and
rolling of the foam dice I have here.
There will be 4 stations at each of the 4
corners. One will be jumping-jacks, one
will be push-ups, one will be vertical
jumps and one will be high knees. A
student will roll the dice to see how
many times the rest of the class has to
perform the skill that they are at. All of
these exercises are really good for your
heart and your health.
Demonstration Plan:
I will demonstrate the skills to students

Lesson Core - Task 2:
We are going to end class today with a
game of red light green light. All of you
will start on the white line at the end of
the blacktop. When I say green light,
everyone should try to their best to get to
the other end of the blacktop before I say
red light. When I say red light everyone
must freeze. The goal is to be the first
person to get the other end of blacktop.
Demonstration Plan:
Students will hopefully know how to run
properly and start and stop with the
given signals.
Questions to Check Understanding
When I say red light what must you do?
(stop where you are) When I say green
light what are you supposed to do? (run
as fast as you can)
Adaptations
Students that do well can run faster and
students that are struggling can run at
their own pace.
