Lesson Introduction: Adventure in Our Backyard!

Objective

Today, we are going to explore the exciting world of Physical Education outside the classroom! Get ready to have fun while learning about how we can enjoy activity in nature.

Let’s Go on an Adventure!

Opening Activity: Nature Scavenger Hunt

1. Gather the Class: Gather the students at the entrance of the school or in your classroom.

2. Explain the Task: Tell them that today, we are going on an adventure in our very own backyard—the school grounds! We will be discovering all the exciting things we can do outside to stay active.

3. Introduce the Scavenger Hunt: Hand out a simple Scavenger Hunt List that includes items they can find outdoors. For example:

   • A leaf
   • A rock
   • A flower
   • A tree
   • A unique cloud shape

4. Set the Scene: Tell students to pretend they are explorers! Explain that explorers stay active and discover new things in their environment. Encourage them to work together, run, walk, and leap around to find items.

5. Group Movement: Before they embark on their scavenger hunt, warm them up with fun stretches and movements such as:

   • Wiggly Worms: Wriggle like a worm on the ground.
   • Tall Trees: Stretch up high like a tall tree in the wind.
   • Flying Birds: Flap your arms and soar like a bird.

Safety Reminder

Make sure to remind students to:

• Stay safe and avoid any areas that might be dangerous.
• Keep an eye on their friends and work as a team.

Wrap-Up

Once everyone has had a chance to explore, gather the class together again to share what they found. Discuss ways we can use our environment to stay active, such as playing tag, jumping over small logs, or creating an outdoor obstacle course.
