"Good morning, everyone! Today, we're going to talk about something very important in our physical activities: responsibility and fair play. Can anyone tell me what they think responsibility means? [Pause for a few student responses.]
Great answers! Responsibility means taking care of ourselves and our teammates. And what about fair play? [Pause for responses.] Yes! Fair play is about being kind, respecting others, and playing by the rules.
Now, let's take a look at what we'll do today! First, we will check some homework, then we’ll talk in groups about what fair play means to us, and after that, we'll play a fun game to practice teamwork. Lastly, we will fill out some cards about how we've grown this month. Let's get started!"
“Now, I would like a few of you to share what you worked on for homework. Remember to listen closely and give your friends supportive feedback. Who wants to go first? [Call on a student to present their homework.]
Thank you for sharing! What did you all think? How can we give positive feedback? [Encourage a few students to share their feedback.]
Wonderful! I love how you all supported each other!”
“Next, let’s break into groups! I want you to turn to your neighbors and discuss what fair play means to you. Think about times when you’ve seen good fair play, or maybe when it didn’t happen.
After your discussion, I want each group to create a pledge that shows how you will practice fair play in our activities. You’ll have about 8 minutes to talk and write. Ready, set, go!” [Circulate among groups, offering help and prompting discussions.]
“Time's up! Who wants to share their group pledge with the class? [Invite a few groups to share their pledges.]
Fantastic work thinking about fair play!"
“Now, let's have some fun with a short game! We’re going to play a relay race. This game is all about teamwork, so remember to cheer for your teammates and play fairly.
Let’s arrange ourselves into two lines. When I say ‘go,’ the first player in each line will run down, touch the wall, and come back to tag the next person. We’ll keep going until everyone has had a turn. Ready? Set? Go!” [Guide the activity and ensure everyone participates.]
"That was awesome, everyone! You all worked well together and had some fun!"
“Now, it’s time to reflect on our day. Each of you will get a card to fill out. I want you to think about how you have grown this month and how you worked with your teammates today.
Take a few minutes to write or draw your thoughts. Remember, it can be anything you learned about teamwork, responsibility, or fair play.” [Distribute cards and markers or crayons. Allow students time to fill them out.]
“Okay, everyone! Please wrap up your thoughts. I’m going to collect the cards now. I might come around and check what you've written.
Remember, this is your personal reflection, and it helps you think about how you can keep growing. Thank you for sharing your ideas!” [Collect cards or check them randomly.]
“Before we finish up, I want to let you know about your homework. I would like you to reflect on your experiences with teamwork at home. It could be while playing a game, helping with chores, or even being part of a family project.
Write or draw your thoughts, and we’ll share them next time. Remember, think about how you and others practiced responsibility and fair play at home.
Alright, that’s it for today! Can anyone remind me what we talked about? [Encourage students to recap key points.]
Exactly! Responsibility, fair play, teamwork, and how we can all reflect on our growth. Great job today, everyone! See you next time!”

What does responsibility mean to you in the context of physical activities? Provide at least two examples.
Describe what fair play looks like during a game. How can you demonstrate fair play?
Reflect on a time when you saw someone practicing good fair play. What did they do, and how did it make you feel?
Create a pledge with three specific actions you will take to ensure fair play during team activities.
How can cheering for your teammates contribute to a positive team environment? Give two reasons.
Why is it important to give positive feedback to your peers after they present their work?
Think about a recent experience you had with teamwork at home. Describe the situation and how you practiced responsibility and fair play.
Illustrate or write about a moment during physical activities when you felt you grew as a teammate. What did you learn?
What is the importance of reflecting on your actions in terms of teamwork and fair play?
How can you apply the lessons learned about responsibility and fair play in other areas of your life, such as school or home?
Responsibility means taking care of yourself and your teammates. Examples could include encouraging teammates or following the rules.
Fair play looks like respecting opponents, not cheating, and encouraging each other. You can demonstrate fair play by congratulating others for good plays.
An example could be a teammate who helps an opponent up after a fall. This act often creates a sense of sportsmanship and community.
Pledge examples: "I will encourage everyone on my team," "I will respect the referees' decisions," "I will not talk back to my teammates if things get tough."
Cheering for teammates boosts morale and creates a supportive atmosphere, making everyone feel valued and motivated.
Positive feedback encourages peers, builds confidence, and creates a supportive learning environment.
Answers will vary. One could mention working together on a family task or playing a game with family where everyone took responsibility.
Answers will vary. Students might illustrate or describe learning about collaboration, communication, or how to handle challenges together.
Reflecting helps identify strengths and areas for improvement, allowing for personal growth and better collaboration in the future.
Lessons about responsibility and fair play can enhance relationships in school by promoting mutual respect and teamwork in projects.

Exercise Poem:
Jumping jacks, one, two, three,
A fun way to get moving, you'll see!
Squats and lunges, down and up,
Feeling strong, like a big tough pup!
High knees marching, lift them high,
Swing those arms, let energy fly!
Big arm circles, round and round,
Stretch and reach, touch the ground!
Frog leaps forward, jump with glee,
Bear crawls next, so wild and free!
Side strides shimmy, let it flow,
Clapping push-ups, let’s steal the show!
Let’s stay active, you and me,
In this fun class, we’ll all agree!
With every exercise, we will grow,
Teamwork and fitness, let's steal the show!
