Lesson plan

Lesson Plan: Balance and Coordination

Subject

Physical Education

Topic

Balance and Coordination

Grade/Age Group

Reception / Kindergarten (Ages 4-5)

Duration

30 minutes

Class Size

20 students

Objectives

Introduce students to the concepts of balance and coordination.
Develop motor skills through fun and engaging activities.
Encourage teamwork and participation among students.
Foster a positive attitude towards physical activity.

Materials

Balance beams (or cones to mark a balance path)
Soft mats for safety
Hula hoops
Beanbags
Music player for energetic background music

Lesson Structure

Step Number	Step Title	Length (minutes)	Details
1	Introduction	5	Explain the importance of balance and coordination. Briefly describe the activities for the lesson.
2	Warm-Up	5	Conduct a simple warm-up involving stretches and movements that engage the whole body to get students ready for physical activity.
3	Balance Beam Activity	10	Set up a balance beam or create a path with cones. Have students practice walking along the beam/cones, emphasizing posture and balance.
4	Hula Hoops Coordination	5	Divide students into small groups and have them use hula hoops. Encourage them to try different movements (spin, jump in/out) to improve coordination.
5	Beanbag Toss	5	Set up targets and distribute beanbags. Students take turns tossing beanbags at the targets to develop hand-eye coordination.
6	Cool Down	2	Gather students and guide them through a cooldown stretching routine to help their bodies recover.
7	Homework Explanation	3	Explain the homework activity – practice balance and coordination at home (e.g., walking on a line, balancing on one foot). Remind them to have fun with it.

Assessment

Observe students during activities for participation and understanding of balance and coordination.
Provide positive feedback and encourage self-assessment among students.

Homework

Students will practice balance and coordination exercises at home. They can walk along a straight line, balance on one foot, or create their own fun activities to enhance their skills.

Notes

Ensure a safe environment throughout the lesson.
Be attentive to any students who may need additional support or modifications.
No student will be required to present their homework; instead, a review of the exercises can be done informally during the next lesson.

This lesson plan aims to provide a fun and interactive way for young learners to develop their physical skills while fostering a love for movement and teamwork.
