Title: Tag Games for Cardiovascular Endurance
Objective: Students will increase their cardiovascular endurance through engaging in tag games that emphasize running and aerobic activity.
Materials:
-Open playing field
- Cones or markers to establish boundaries
-Something to designate who is "it" (e.g. pinnies or wristbands)
Procedure:
1. Warm-Up (5 minutes)
a. Begin with a brief jog around the playing field.
b. After jogging, lead students through a series of dynamic stretches to prepare their bodies for activity.
c. Encourage students to focus on their breathing during this portion of the lesson plan.
2. Introduction (5 minutes)
a. Ask students if they have played any tag games before.
b. Explain that today's lesson plan will focus on tag games that emphasize running and aerobic activity.
c. Remind students that participating in cardiovascular activity can help improve heart health and overall fitness.
3. Tag Games (35 minutes)
a. Divide the class into groups of 6-8 students.
b. Set up boundaries on the playing field using cones or markers.
c. Designate one student in each group to be "it."
d. Students should begin each game by standing at opposite ends of the playing field.
e. The student who is "it" will attempt to tag another student. To avoid being tagged, students must use quick running and side-stepping movements to evade the "it" person.
f. If a student is tagged, they become "it" for the next game.
g. Allow students to play each game for 5-10 minutes before rotating who is "it."
4. Cool-Down (5 minutes)
a. Have students participate in a slow jog around the playing field.
b. Lead students through a series of static stretches to cool down and prevent injury.
c. Allow students to rest and drink water before concluding the lesson plan.
Assessment: Observe students' participation and note if they engage in aerobic activity throughout the lesson. Evaluate any problem areas (e.g. students who are not actively engaging in the game) and plan strategies to encourage participation and avoid exclusion.
