Sport Pedagogy Lesson Plan Template (Elementary and Middle School)

Teacher: Zoe Eldridge

Background Information
Date: March 31, 2016

School: Cleveland Elementary

Grade Level: 3rd grade

Lesson Focus: nontraditional sports

# Of students: 15-20 students

Equipment and Facilities:

1 foam dice
4 soccer balls
4 poly spots
6 cones
16-20 pennies

Safety Considerations: One must be careful when on

the asphalt or the grassy area. A student can trip, fall
and get hurt. All students need to make sure that they
are paying attention over the course of the whole
lesson and all students have enough room to engage
in the activity without getting hurt. The students must
also make sure to be paying attention during the
lesson and focused so a ball does not hit them.
Lesson Specifics
Behavioral Contingencies: For every lesson, the
Previously Learned Skills: soccer dribbling, soccer
student that is not behaving properly will first receive passing, kicking to a target
a warning and a reminder that the next time he or
she acts up he will have to sit out. If the student acts
up a second time, he will be asked to sit out. If a
student sits out twice over the course of the lesson, he
or she will be sent to the supervisor.
Teaching Strategy: The strategy that will be used
Academic Language: control the ball, eyes up, ball at
over this lesson is a teacher director strategy. In this
arms length, kick with inside of foot
instance the students will learn how to perform the
skill from the teacher and then practice the skill with
their classmates.

Instant Activity:
Hello class! We are going to start class
today with some health and fitness
exercises and rolling of the foam dice I
have here. There will be 4 stations at
each of the 4 corners. One will be
jumping jacks, one will be push-ups, one
will be vertical jumps and one will be
high knees. A student will roll the dice to
see how many times the rest of the class
has to perform the skill that they are at.
Transition students will go back to white
line where they were at the beginning of
class, where I will explain the rest of the
lesson for the day.
Set Induction:
Hello, class! Today will be our last day
of soccer game play before we move on
to another sport and set of skills. I know
that we all we over this before but it is
important that everyone pays attention to
what is going on during the game and
have control of the ball.
Purpose:
Game play is soccer is important
because it shows how well we all learned
our soccer skills that we learned over the
past couple weeks and what we need to
improve on. Soccer is a very popular
sport here and works on skills like
teamwork so its important we learn the
sport.

class. There will be 4 groups that will

dribble the soccer ball to a cone and then
back to their group. At a certain point
they will stop and pass the ball to their
partner.
Demonstration Plan:
Student demonstration. I will have the
students demonstrate how to properly
dribble and pass a soccer ball.
Questions to Check Understanding
What is important to remember when
dribbling the soccer ball? (keep the ball
within arms length of body) What is
important to remember when passing the
soccer ball. (stop the ball before kicking
it and kick with inside of foot).
Transition: students will stay in their 4
groups and I will pair the groups up
against each other.
Lesson Core - Task 2:
Students will now be able to interact and
incorporate the skills they learned into
soccer game play.
Demonstration Plan:
I will remind the students of the
demonstrations that they saw earlier.
Questions to Check Understanding
What is one important thing to remember
when playing soccer? (Be aware of your
surroundings and where the soccer ball
is). What do we need to remember when
passing the soccer ball? (stop the ball
first and make sure the other person is
paying attention).
Adaptations
Two girls will have to touch the soccer
ball before shooting a soccer goal so
everyone has the opportunity to play.
