Sample Activities:

 

·        SHOWCASING OUR SKILLS - Students create a video showcasing three skills learned in physical education class. Form small groups and allow time for each group to select the skills and a target audience. (If time is a problem, assign the skills; if time is not critical, allow groups time to discuss and select skills.) Students develop a script, locate props, and create costumes. Videotape the productions and discuss the planning process. Ask: “Was it hard to decide on the three skills? How did your group decide? How did you decide what was important to teach? Is there an easy way to teach the skill? How did you decide on a target audience? What might you do differently next time?” Students use the tapes to teach the skill to the designated target audience.
