Lesson Development – ABC Model
A – Anticipation (Warm-up / Starter)

B – Building Knowledge (Main Lesson Body)
Time: 25–30 minutes
Learners’ Activities (Expanded):
- Teacher introduces basic football rules in simple words:
- No pushing or rough play.
- Take turns and share the ball.
- Pass the ball to teammates, not only keeping it.
- Respect the referee/teacher and other players.
- Teacher demonstrates football techniques step by step:
- Kicking the ball with the inside of the foot for better control.
- Passing the ball to a partner with accuracy.
- Stopping the ball gently using the foot.
- Learners practice in pairs, kicking and passing the ball back and forth.
- Teacher organizes learners into small groups for a mini football game where they apply rules and teamwork.
- Learners practice moving, passing, and kicking while observing safety and fair play.
Assessment Checks:
- Teacher observes learners during practice and the mini-game:
- Are they passing the ball correctly?
- Are they kicking safely without hurting others?
- Are they taking turns and showing teamwork?
- Ask learners simple questions:
- “What is one rule we follow in football?”
- “Why should we pass to teammates?”
- “What happens if we push others during play?”
Notes (Expanded & Detailed):
- Emphasize team cooperation: learners should share the ball and not try to play alone.
- Reinforce fair play and respect: learners must avoid fighting over the ball and should clap or cheer for others.
- Highlight safety rules: kick the ball gently, look around before moving, and avoid pushing.
- Connect to real life:
- Following rules in football is like following classroom rules.
- Passing the ball is like sharing toys or books with friends.
- Respect in games builds friendship and teamwork.
- Provide encouragement: praise learners who show teamwork, patience, and kindness.
- End with a short reflection: learners share one thing they enjoyed in the football activity and one rule they will always remember.
