LESSON #: 5
LESSON FOCUS: Chasing, Fleeing, Dodging
PREVIOUSLY LEARNED SKILLS: Spatial Awareness
FACILITITES: Blacktop/ Grass
EQUIPMENT: 4 cones, 4-5 mats

Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs):

Psychomotor: By the end of this lesson SWBAT demonstrate chasing fleeing and
dodging movements (faking, plant foot, change direction) across all activities.
Cognitive: SWBAT identify different strategies on how to get away from a chaser, and
come up with different movements to escape them. Chasers must also do the same
except to develop their own strategies for tagging others.
Affective: SWBAT gain confidence when being engaged in such activities where it is
necessary to chase, flee and dodge. Students must also have positive attitudes, smile
when playing, and give high fives to their teammates.
H-R Fitness: Students will go through an instant activity to warm up their muscles and
increase their heart rate.

Instant Activity: 5 minutes

Everybodys It!
Have the students spread about in a scatter formation. On the signal to begin, all students
are "It" and may tag any other student. Once a player is tagged, they leave the playing area
to perform the designated exercise or skill. For example, when you get tagged you must
leave the area, perform 10 jumping jacks, and then you may enter the game again. If two
players tag each other at the same time, they must both leave the playing area.

Jumping jacks
Jog in place
Jump Back and Forth
Jump Side to Side
High Knees
Arm circles/skipping
Jog a lap

Horde Vs. Alliance

10 minutes

Divide the class into two teams, one team being the Horde and the other team being
the Alliance. To begin teams are lined up at opposite ends of the playing area. Start
by having the Horde facing away from the Alliance. At this point the Alliance sneaks
up on the Horde. When the teacher thinks they are close enough he shouts "here
come the Alliance", the Horde then turn around and chase the Alliance back to their
PC home while attempting to tag as many as possible. Any Alliance tagged become
Horde. This time the Alliance turn around, and the Horde sneak up to the Alliance.
This game may be played with a time limit or until all players are on one team.
