| Activity/Teaching Strategies |

Introductory Activity – have children move in and out of spaces doing a teacher selected locomotor step, on signal, children jump and then continue moving.
Body – Safe Landings – talk to children about safe body parts to land on. Discuss the need for bent knees and bent ankles. Talk about not landing on other body parts. Talk about clear spaces to land. Have children move through spaces again but get onto some of the equipment and show safe landings.
Work on short sequence jump-land-roll individually in a good space. Start and end with a freeze.
Culminating Activity – Have some students demonstrate their sequences with others concentrating to see if they have “safe landings”. Children can give marks 1-2-3 for safe landings. |
