Sample Activities:

 

·       TEACHING OTHERS - In small groups, students create a game or aerobic dance activity and prepare background information on the purpose and benefits of the activity. Each group instructs the rest of the class on the proper steps or procedures for the activity. Classmates critique the design and presentation and provide feedback. Students revise the activity, using the classes’ comments.

Variation: Students develop instructions on a health-related activity (e.g., swimming, diving safety, baby-sitting skills, CPR) and present the instructions to the class.

Variation: Students practice their telephone communication skills, providing a clear explanation of a situation or incident (e.g., providing directions to the school, describing a person’s injuries). Other students provide feedback on the use of the skills and the clarity of the communication.
