Grade Level: Grade 3
Date: Week 23
Lesson Duration: 45 minutes
Week & Period: Week 23, Period 4
Topic: Manipulative Games and Integration
Sub-topic: Throwing, catching, kicking, and integrated activities
Learning Objectives
By the end of the lesson, students should be able to:
Demonstrate manipulative skills accurately
Apply previously learned exercises, stunts, and games in an integrated session
Reflect on personal growth in fitness, coordination, and teamwork
Previous Knowledge
Students already know:
Manipulative skills, stunts, tumbling, locomotor games
Instructional Materials
Balls, cones, mats, markers
Lesson Development – ABC Model
A – Anticipation (Warm-up / Starter)
Time: 5–10 minutes
Warm-up exercises: stretching, jogging, and light tossing/catching
B – Building Knowledge (Main Lesson Body)
Time: 25–30 minutes
Teacher Input (Expanded & Detailed):
- Introduction & Explanation:
- Teacher revisits manipulative skills such as:
- Throwing: Proper grip and arm motion.
- Catching: Eyes on the object, hands positioned correctly.
- Kicking: Correct placement of non-kicking foot and controlled swing of the kicking leg.
- Explain the importance of integrating previous skills:
- Combines strength, balance, coordination, and teamwork.
- Reinforces motor skills learned in stunts, tumbling, balance exercises, and locomotor games.
- Emphasize safety rules:
- Watch for personal space and obstacles.
- Move slowly between stations.
- Communicate clearly with peers during activities.
- Demonstration of Integrated Circuit:
- Teacher sets up stations:
- Station 1: Throwing and catching objects.
- Station 2: Kicking targets or objects.
- Station 3: Balance exercises (one-leg stand, walking on a line).
- Station 4: Stunts and tumbling (crab walk, bear crawl, log roll).
- Station 5: Locomotor games (relay, obstacle course).
- Teacher demonstrates correct technique for each station and explains rotation process.
- Practical Activity – Circuit Practice:
- Learners rotate in small groups through each station.
- Teacher supervises and provides immediate feedback on:
- Accuracy and control in manipulative skills.
- Safe execution of stunts, tumbling, and balance exercises.
- Teamwork, communication, and cooperation during locomotor games.
- Reflection prompts:
- “Which station was easiest or hardest?”
- “How did teamwork help you complete the activities?”
- “Which skill do you feel you improved the most?”
Learners’ Activities (Expanded & Detailed):
- Perform throwing, catching, and kicking with correct technique.
- Rotate through integrated activity stations, practicing balance, stunts, tumbling, and locomotor skills.
- Work in small teams, providing peer feedback and supporting each other.
- Reflect individually or in groups on personal progress, coordination, and teamwork.
Assessment Checks (Expanded):
- Observation: Teacher monitors:
- Accuracy and control in manipulative skills.
- Safe participation and correct technique in all stations.
- Teamwork, communication, and cooperation.
- Oral Questions:
- “Which station challenged your coordination the most?”
- “How did teamwork help during relay or obstacle stations?”
- “Which skill improved the most today?”
- Practical Assessment: Learners demonstrate skills correctly and participate safely and cooperatively in the integrated circuit.
Notes (Expanded & Detailed):
- Immediate feedback is critical to correct errors and reinforce proper technique.
- Emphasize coordination, safety, and cooperation to ensure effective learning.
- Integrated circuits reinforce previously learned skills and promote holistic physical development.
- Reflection encourages learners to recognize strengths, identify areas for improvement, and set personal goals.
- Teachers should foster an environment of support, encouragement, and positive peer interaction.
C – Consolidation (Conclusion & Assessment)
Time: 5–10 minutes
Summary: Reflect on skills learned, personal growth, and teamwork
Evaluation Method (Expanded)
Exit slip/quiz: Name one manipulative skill and describe how integration improves fitness
Teacher will collect slips and provide oral feedback
Assignment (Expanded):
Practice a manipulative skill or integrated activity at home and share experience
Follow-up Activity:
Organize a mini integrated fitness circuit for the class
Differentiation / Inclusive Strategies
Simplify tasks or provide adapted equipment for learners needing support
Encourage peer mentoring
