Children will be able to select and apply the appropriate skill and be aware of ways to ensure their own and other's safety.

Children will have learnt the importance of activity, how their bodies change and agree that exercise can be fun.

Remind children of the warm up game Park and Ride (see teacher factfile) and explain that today they are going to play the game with one adaptation. Today they are going to swap cars on reaching the park and ride by exchanging their ball with another driver. This is done by throwing their ball to the other driver and catching the ball thrown to them.

Introductory Activity and Experimentation
Divide children into groups of four and give them a hoop, a bat and some beanbags or balls. Children take turns to stand inside a hoop and hit the balls or beanbags into a marked channel in front of them. The fielders stand behind the batter and once all the balls or beanbags have been hit into the channel they must retrieve them. The aim of the activity is for the batter to score as many points as possible by jumping in and out of the hoop before the beanbags or balls are all returned behind the hoop.

Discuss with children ways of making the game easier or harder for the fielders.

Skill Building
Divide children into six groups and set up six different target practice activities in different parts of the workspace. These activities will be used in the 'Concluding Activity' of the lesson so ensure that they are placed so that the whole class will be able to move around the work area using them as 'a golf course'.  Include activities that involve skills of rolling, throwing, striking, kicking, aiming - like throwing over a bench to get a beanbag into a hoop, throwing a beanbag into a bucket, rolling a ball through two cones, hitting a cone target, kicking a ball at a target, etc. Let each group spend a few minutes practicing the activity and then change and move on so that everyone has experience of as many activities as possible during the time allowed.

Talk about the skills needed and how to improve performance.

Concluding Activity
Ask children if they have ever played Crazy Golf on holiday and discuss what it involves. Explain that children are going to use the activities from the Skill Building part of the lesson as a Crazy Golf course. Stick a number label on a cone for each activity and place the cone next to the activity.

Tell each group to start at a different number cone but explain they need to move around the course in order. eg. If they start at number 4 then their order would be 4, 5,6, 1, 2, 3. Children count how many goes it took to achieve each activity. At the end the teacher could ask the class if they managed any activity in just one go.

Cool Down
Children pretend they are on an island where the weather changes quite quickly. They move according to the weather. Start with the island being very, very, cold and ask children to run around the island. Gradually the island warms up and the children use gentler activities. Eventually they melt into the ground.

While children relax remind them of some skills used during this unit, the importance of activity for the body and agree that exercise can be fun.

Are they aware of the importance of exercise and how their bodies change?

Do they know how to keep themselves and others safe when playing games?
