Physical Education : Second thru Fifth Grades
October Unit- Chasing and Fleeing/Flying Disc
Chasing and fleeing skills are used in many of the most popular games played by children. By changing the locomotor skill, the method of tagging, the task students perform to re-enter the game after being tagged, and/or the ways in which they may seek safety, we created enough tag games to last a lifetime! The games in this unit provide opportunities for students to develop chasing, fleeing, and spatial awareness skills while promoting health-related physical fitness in enjoyable ways. The activities are designed to include and challenge all students’ physical skills, while maintaining enjoyable, health-promoting, moderate-to-vigorous physical activity during class.
The SPARK Flying Disc Unit provides activities for students to practice and develop the fundamental skills of throwing (for accuracy and distance), catching, offense and defense. Activities in this unit follow a high-activity, skill progression which can be adapted for a variety of skill levels.
