Lesson Plans

Strand 3: PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AS A TOOL FOR WELLNESS

Children will identify activities that bring satisfaction and pleasure through participating and through reflecting on physical activity and how it can promote a lifetime of wellness.

Standard PE 4 yr.3.1

Recognize how exercise and physical activity influence our physical and emotional wellness (for example, feel the change in breathing or heart rate, talk about how it helps our muscles and body, ask what physical activities a child enjoys).

• Physical Activity Influence
  Discuss changes children can identify after they have participated in a rigorous physical activity.  As you prepare to go outside, ask children to locate and place their hands over their hearts to feel the heartbeats in a rested state, notice the color in the faces, and think about how their legs and arms feel.
