Exercise

• READY TO TEACH * (LESSON 6/8 - HEALTHY LIFESTYLE)

Class participation. Ask for a show of hands from pupils regarding their involvement in extra-curricular activities. Challenge pupils to write down as many examples of sports as possible that help to improve fitness levels. Pupils feedback their examples to the class. As a mini-plenary, pupils are required to write a list of as many reasons as possible for why people should exercise. Pupils self-assess their answers, by playing the game bingo (slides 3-4). Set up the classroom into group tables to undertake a carousel activity. Pupils are required to go from station to station collecting information about different sports (a quick paced activity - be sure to keep to the timings). As a plenary, ask pupils to feedback the benefits of each sport they have researched. To conclude, discuss different ways in which exercise can be carried out. Emphasise the importance of remaining hydrated whilst doing exercise.
