PROCEDURE
Introduction (1 min.):
Attention Grabber: I know youve all got some experience with skipping, today we will be using these skills and
learning some new skipping games.
Assessment of Prior Knowledge: Who here loves skipping? Me too!
Connection to Curriculum: Skipping games allow students to perform locomotor skills and combination skills.
Expectations for Learning and Behaviour: Students will listen to instructions and use the equipment safely.
Advance Organizer/Agenda: Today we will do some basic skipping rhymes as well as play a few skipping games!
Transition to Body: Lets get started!

Learning Activity #1: hand out one skipping rope for every 3 students (they will
work in 3s for the first few songs)
. Explain the first game (birthday plum) Apples, peaches, pears and plums.
Tell me when your birthday comesJanuary, February, March, April etc
until their birthday month. Switch skipper
Second game: A, B, C and Vegetable Goop, what will I find in my alphabet
soup? Go through the alphabet until they trip, then the skipper has to come up
with a word that starts with that letter.
Learning Activity #2: explain helicopter game: I will use a long skipping rope
(or 2 tied together) and slowly spin it around just above the floor. The whole
class will be spread out around me and they all have to jump as the helicopter
blade comes towards them. Anyone who trips over it is out, they will watch for
other students tripping over the rope and cheer their classmates on. Keep
going until theres only 1 student left or if 5 minutes has gone by (whichever
comes first). If its over really fast, do another round until 5 minutes has
passed.
Formative & Summative Assessments: give feedback to students telling them when they
are jumping well, and if many students are tripping remind them that they need to
anticipate the rope and time their jumps.
Specific Learner Considerations: for students having a hard time skipping today, they
could sit on the bench and help cheer their classmates on to success

Consolidation/Assessment of Learning: Thank you everybody for your participation and positive team work, you all
did very well performing the different skipping exercises today.
Feedback From Students: Which skipping activity was the hardest for you to do today?
Feedback To Students: Good job everyone, you have all done very well today even though some of the activities were
very challenging.
Transition To Next Lesson: Next week we will continue having fun with workout Wednesday and skipping!
10 Key questions to review your plan:
1) What will my classroom/ teaching area look like when I begin to teach?
2) How will I interest the students on the lesson questions/ topic?
3) At what part of the lesson will I assess formatively? Summatively?
4) Have I clearly planned how I will transition from each part of the lesson (e.g. intro to activity 1)
5) Have I given thought to what approach to use in each activity? (e.g., direct instruction vs. group work)
6) Do I have enough detail in my activity descriptions to really understand what I will say, do, and assess?
7) Have I considered how my students will react to each activity? Any special learner considerations?
8) Do I know what evidence I am looking for as I assess formatively (e.g.- as you observe students working- what are
you looking for? As you question the students- what types of answers are you hoping to receive?)
9) Does my closure solidify the key points to the lesson?
10) Do I connect my closure to the lesson objectives?
