Grade 4 Outcome(s)
- select and combine locomotor and non-locomotor skills into complex
movement sequences individually
- perform movement skills with variations in body awareness, space
awareness and relationships using apparatus
Learning Objective(s)
- Students will be working on their balance skills by practicing
simple and complex movements along a bench (balance beam)
- Students will demonstrate the understanding that some
gymnastics activities can be dangerous and safety is important
Materials
- 4 Benches (found on sidelines of gym)
- 8 Safety mats (2 along the side of each bench
- 3 Red Pinnies
Warm-up 4-5 mins
- Line tag Todays lesson is focused on using benches as balance
beams and practicing different movements along the beam.
Therefore, line tag is a good warm-up because it forces students
to start walking very carefully along a small area.
- 3 people will be chosen as IT for line tag and given a red pinnie
so the students can distinguish who is it. Their job is to tag other
members of the class while only stepping on lines in the gym. If a
person is tagged they must then sit down where they got tagged
and act as a barrier so that no one else can get by them. Remind
all students that they must always remain in contact with the line
that they are walking along. If they completely step off their line,
they need to sit down. Remind them to always be honest and
that being honest and telling the truth is much more important
that winning a game.
- Keep the game going until there is only one person left walking
around the lines.
1st Activity 10-15 mins
- Students will return to their squads (4). Place a bench (on the
sidelines), in front of each of the four squads. Place two mats on
either side of the bench in case somebody is to fall off the beam.
Tell the students that they will be continuing their work with
some gymnastics after a few days of learning games to play
outside.
The first thing they need to know is the S landing. This is just in
case anyone has to fall off as they are attempting a maneuver on
the beam.
S Landing Knees slightly bent, arms out in front, looking in
front of you. Whole body is in an S shape.
