Lesson Plan

Lindsey's Lesson Plan Topic:Name of Activity: Munchies Matter; So Does Physical Health Purpose of Activity: To teach students about the importance of a healthy lifestyle while fostering previously taught locomotor skills. Students will acquire skills through a variety of developmentally appropriate movement activities; dance, games, individual activities etc.Prerequisites: Locomotor Skills: walking, skipping, galloping, marching, running, hopping, etc. Food Pyramid and Healthy Lifestyle Choices/Habits: The number of recommended daily servings from each food group, Identifying foods within each food group (nuts - meat group), the importance of exercise, avoiding unhealthy choices. Grade Level: 5 Students: 9 boys, 4 girls, 2 with disabilities (1 boy, 1 girl)Materials Needed: -A Hula Hoop, Foam Balls for each student, Colors: Red (Represent Meat) ,Blue (Water) Orange (Vegetables - Carrots) ,Green ("Go" Exercise) ,Purple (Fruits - Grapes) ,Black (Sweets - Chocolate) White (Breads) Yellow (Dairy - Cheese),5 "Soccer" Balls (or some type other than foam) These represent unhealthy choices such as drugs, lack of exercise, etc., One large trash can Large food pyramid (Display on wall) A color code (chart) to show which food group is represented by each foam ball (display) Music and a box of some sort.(grocery cart) -I choose this idea because we have two ideas going on for our project one is about education and one is about sports. In both of them the students are learning about their locomotors skills, implying them and also learning about the food pyramid. In order for students to be good at sports they need to have developed their locomotors skills in a way that they can in fact use them while playing in a game.
