If you can hear me say Shhh.
Please come out and stand on the red line.
Set Induction is given here
Set Induction:
While standing on the red line,
By a show of hands, how many of you have
ever been sleep deprived?
What were some of the side effects of feeling
tired? (Yawning, stretching, falling asleep in
class, not being able to focus, etc.)
How many hours of sleep should we get a
night? (8 hours)
Today we are going to prove that we slept at
least 8 hours last night by avoiding the

Learnable Piece:
You will participate in a relay where you will
try to avoid the taggers who represent the
negative effects of sleep deprivation. You will
need to be able to tell me how sleep
deprivation affects your performance (slows
you down).
Presentation of New Material/Directions:
Students will be broken up into five teams for
the relay race. Two people will be selected to
be the sleep deprivation taggers. These two
people represent the side of effects of sleep
deprivation. One tagger will be the yawner
and the other tagger will be the stretcher.
The relay will start by all members of every
team doing eight jumping jacks. These 8
jumping jacks represent the recommended
hours of nightly sleep. These will be done one
time all together as a team.
Once the team has finished the jumping jacks,
the first person from each team will run to the
other side. If he/she is tagged, he/she will
have to run back to the end of his/her line. The
whole team will have to either yawn or stretch
as a team before the next person can run.
Having to do this slows the team down from
winning the relay, just like a lack of sleep
slows peoples focus and performance down.
The team will continue to run until every
person of the team has made it across without
getting tagged or until another team has done
so and therefore wins.
SAFETY: tag lightly on the shoulder, watch
out for your neighbors while running, and
make sure you are spread out enough when
doing the jumping jacks and/or yawning and
stretching so you dont hit anyone
The first team to get their entire team to the
other side of the gym wins and proves that
they got the best nights sleep last night!
Transition:
Standing on the red line, I will select two
people to be the sleep deprivation taggers.
They will come stand by me and then students
will count off by 5s. As they count off I will
designate one tagger as the yawner and one
as the stretcher. Once they have counted off, I
