Hula-Hoop Exercise and Disc Golf This exercise teaches preteens and young teens (8 to 14 years old) how to work with a partner to accomplish a goal. The frst portion of the exercise will test how accurately one person can throw a disc to his partner who is standing in the hula hoop. The object of the game is to have the thrower stand behind a line while throwing the disc to the catcher who is 20 paces away and standing inside of the hula hoop. The catcher must have one foot in the hula hoop when the disc is caught in order for the catch to count. If the disc is caught, the catcher has to throw it back to the thrower and then immediately run to the second hoop, which is now 40 paces away from the thrower's line. For each disc caught, the thrower must add another 20 paces away from the hula hoop behind the line. Disc golf is another activity that involves partners, a hula hoop and a disc. To begin, ask a student to throw the hula hoop to an open area as far as he can for his frst disc golf hole. Players take turns throwing the disc into the hula hoop with their partner. Once the disc makes it completely into the hula hoop, the student will throw the hula hoop again from the current position for his second hole. This exercise teaches students golf terminology: hole in one, eagle, birdie, par, bogey and double bogey.

writing skills and strengthen their technology skills. After a group brainstorming session, provide students with paper with pre-drawn boxes, and give them sticky notes. Each student will create a story board by determining which portion of her story goes in each box. The student will also determine if her story needs visual or auditory elements as she moves from frame to frame. Once the student is satisfed with the plot and action of the characters, she can move to a computer to compose a digital storybook. Direct the student to assemble each frame of her story in a PowerPoint slide, by adding text, pictures, voice recording and music. 3-D Self Sculpture Begin by having students answer the question “Who am I” in a journal. They may use words, pictures, symbols and colors. Next, pair up students and ask them to work together to list what makes each of them unique. When they are done, have them make self- hardening clay by mixing 4 cups of four and 1 cup of salt. Ask them to add 1 cup of water into the mixture very slowly. They will then mold the mixture together until it no longer falls apart. Each student should have one cup of clay for his project. Students will then work with clay to produce a self-portrait of themselves based on what they wrote down in their journal and what their partners shared. Cooking Measurements This lesson plan will teach students which measuring tools to use when they are cooking. To begin the exercise, form groups of four or fve students, each with a set of measuring cups.

Onion Ball Ofer your students a movement-based question-and-answer game to help them prepare for their upcoming test. Print questions similar to those that will be on your test on separate sheets of paper. Crumple one of the question sheets tightly to create a ball. Wrap another sheet around this one, crumbling it so it creates a second layer. Continue in this fashion to create an multilayered ball of questions. To begin the game, peel of the outermost layer of the prepared ball and read the question to your students. Allow them to raise their hands if they can answer the question. Select a student and, if he answers correctly, throw him the ball. That student then peels of another layer and reads the question. Play continues in this fashion until all the questions have been answered.
