Lesson Structure

Step Number	Step Title	Length (minutes)	Details
1	Introduction	5	Introduce the topic and objectives. Briefly explain locomotor skills and their importance. Warm-up with light stretching.
2	Locomotor Skill Demonstration	5	Teacher demonstrates each locomotor skill (walking, running, hopping, skipping) in place. Encourage students to mimic.
3	Guided Practice	10	Set up stations: 1) walking in a straight line, 2) hopping on one foot, 3) running around cones, 4) skipping within a designated area. Rotate groups every 2 minutes.
4	Group Activity	5	Divide class into small groups (4-5 students each). Each group practices locomotor skills while using a small ball in their play. Encourage teamwork and communication.
5	Cool Down	5	Gather the class for a cooldown. Lead students in gentle stretches while discussing what they learned about the skills.

Assessment

• Observation of student participation and execution of skills during activities.
• Encourage self-assessment and peer feedback without formal presentation.

Homework

• Ask students to demonstrate one locomotor skill at home with a family member, and return with a drawing or a short description of their experience, which will be collected and reviewed in class without presentation.
