"TEACH ME" HOW TO BE PHYSICALLY FIT!











The students on Team Pay Day enjoyed being the teacher for a day when they prepared a lesson plan to promote physical fitness. The students worked in groups to create a lesson that involved a warm-up, physical activities, and a cool-down. The students loved playing the role of the teacher and had their classmates actively involved in lessons to promote physical fitness. Some of the awesome lessons included basketball skills, soccer skills, jumping rope, stretches, running, and yoga. One of the favorite activities was the Buzzer Beater Contest where students role played making the final shot at the end of an exciting basketball game. The students learned the importance of planning a good lesson, being prepared, and having fun while they were working on being healthier.

At the conclusion of the lesson, the students were asked to evaluate their performance and identify what they did well in the lesson and how they could improve it if they were to teach it again. Many of the students rated their lesson a perfect 10. The lessons were well done, and I think we have a few future teachers on our team!
