Introductory Activities 1) Countdown (Pangrazi, Dynamic Physical Education for Elementary School Children,

2004, p. 22) a) Standing with arms stretched overhead, the students count down from 10 to 1

gradually moving lower into a crouch position as they get to 1. Once they finish counting, the teacher says “Blast off” and the students perform a locomotor movement around the gym until I say stop. You can do this many times with different locomotor skills.

2) Magic Number Challenges (Pangrazi, Dynamic Physical Education for Elementary School Children, 2004, p. 30) a) Students put together a series of movements based on the magic numbers

given. Hold up three cards with a number on each card. Students respond to the card by performing locomotor movements around the gym the specific number of times.

3) Popcorn (Pangrazi, Dynamic Physical Education for Elementary School Children, 2004, p. 41) a) Students pair up with one person on the floor in push-up position and the other

standing ready to move. On signal, the standing students move over and under the people on the floor. The person on the floor changes from a raised to a lowered push-up position each time the partner goes over or under them. On a teacher’s signal, reverse positions. \

4) New Leader Warm-Up (Pangrazi, Dynamic Physical Education for Elementary School Children, 2004, p. 71) a) Place students in small groups of about 3 or 4 students. Groups move single file

around the gym, following a leader in the group. On signal, the last person in line moves to the front of the line and becomes the leader. Leaders can use different locomotor skills and movements to vary the activity or challenge their followers.

5) One Move After (Bennett & Riemer, 1995, pp. 42-43) a) The teacher or a student repeats a locomotor movement or dance several times,

and then stops. The group begins performing this movement. The leader starts a second movement. When the leader begins a third movement, the group switches to the second movement. Your students are always doing the move after the teacher or head student has completed it.

6) Talking Drum (Bennett & Riemer, 1995, p. 44)

Page 3: Chad Ballee ESS 303 Teaching Gymnastics and Rhythmic ...users.manchester.edu/student/ccballee/ProfWeb/Unit Plan.pdf · ESS 303 Teaching Gymnastics and Rhythmic Activities . March

a) Students follow the talking drum, which is the teacher beating on a drum saying which locomotor skill or movement to do. Students should change their movements according to the speed and intensity of the beats. You can suggest movement changes in directions, levels, pathways, body parts, and so on.

7) Rhythms Circuit (Bennett & Riemer, 1995, p. 55) a) Instruct students to go to the activity area of their choice and start walking,

jogging, or performing dance steps. On my cue, students go to any station and do the rhythmic movement listed on the task card at the station. Do this in a 30 second to 1 minute rotations. Students switch to the next task card in a clockwise direction.

8) Crossing the River (Pangrazi, 1998, p. 35) a) Two lines about 40 feet apart designate a river. Each time the students cross the

river they must perform a different movement or locomotor skill. Stress the quality of the movement, not the speed or amount of times you cross the river.

9) Secret Movements (Pangrazi, 1998, p. 61) a) Many different movements and/or combinations of movements are written on

large flash cards. Without looking, the teacher or a student selects a card and directs the class to “show me” the secret movement. The students select a movement and perform it until they are signaled to stop. The card is then revealed to the class to see which students, by chance, guessed the secret movement.

10) Locomotor Movements with Equipment (Pangrazi, 1998, p. 72) a) Each student is given a jump rope and moves around the area using various

basic locomotor movements. On signal, they drop the rope, and jump, hop, or leap over as many ropes as possible.
