Lesson Plan 3
HPE 430
TITLE: K- MANAGEMENT INSTRUCTIONAL PROCEDURES
This lesson plan is designed to last for 4-5 days of instruction.
Developmental Level: 1
Lesson Focus: Week 1- the first week of school will be used to teach students the system that we will
use throughout the year in our physical education class.
Alabama Course of Study Standards: K: 1, K: 9, K: 10, and K: 12
Objectives:
Illustrate and practice how to start and stop in class
Explain how to care for equipment
Explain the class format (introductory activity, fitness development, lesson focus,
and game activity)
Practice management of students on the move
Equipment:
Whistle will be used to aid in class management. Music and CD player will be used to promote
movement and start and stop procedures. Colored dots will be used to mark the assigned spot on
the gym floor for each child.
Introductory Activity (2-3 minutes daily): If students become bored with the introductory activity an
alternate activity can be substituted.
Name of activity: Move and Freeze on Signal
Description: Students will move throughout the area using a variety of locomotor movements. On signal
of the whistle they will quickly freeze. I will try to reduce the amount of time that it take s for students to
stop be positively reinforcing those who stop quickly. The primary focus of this introductory activity is to
teach the students the importance of moving under control (without bumping others or falling down) and
quickly freezing when the whistle is blown.
Fitness Development (5-7 minutes daily):
Activity Name: Fitness Challenges
Preparation: Begin with all students in place on their assigned dots.
Rules: Begin walking when the whistle is blown. Walk until whistle is blown a second time. Follow
instructions for flexibility and trunk development challenges: While standing still, follow instructions for
bending in different directions, and stretching slowly. Then follow instructions for swaying back and forth,
and twisting one body part at a time. When whistle is blown again, skip until the stop whistle is blown.
Follow instructions for upper body strength challenges: While standing in place, assume push up position
for the following challenges: lift one foot at a time, wave at a friend with one hand then the other, scratch
your back with one hand then the other, then walk you feet up to your hands. Stand up when instructed,

and begin jogging when the whistle is blown. Jog until the stop whistle is blown, then stand in place.
Follow instructions for abdominal development challenges: while in sit up position, lift your head and look
at your toes, lift your knees to your chest, and wave your legs at a friend. From a sitting position, slowly lie
down with hands on tummy, lift legs and touch toes. Stand up when instructed, and begin running on start
whistle. Run and leap until the stop whistle is blown. The goal is for the students to move through a
number of movement challenges. The locomotor movements will be alternated with strength and flexibility
challenges. They will be repeated as necessary.
Lesson Focus (15-20 daily): Since most of the time during the first week is used for orientation
procedures and management, no lesson focus activity is scheduled.
Culminating activity (5-7 minutes daily for advanced classes): fun activity/game to enhance daily
instruction or reward appropriate behavior. If the students become bored with this game an alternate
activity can be substituted.
Name of activity: Management Game- Toe to Toe
Supplies: None
Description: Management game- Toe to Toe is designed to teach students how to move into partner and
small group formation.
Skills: Fundamental locomotor movements
Students will perform a locomotor movement around the area. On the signal of the start whistle,
each child must find a partner and stand toe to toe with one foot only. An important skill is to take the
nearest person for a partner without searching for a friend. Students who cannot find an partner in their
immediate area must run quickly to the center marking spot to find a partner. The goal is to avoid being
the last pair formed. If the number of students is uneven the teacher will join in and play. The locomotor
movements will be changed often to focus on more movements.
