**Lesson Plan: Physical and Health Education - Senior Secondary 1** **Topic: Ball Games: Soccer Practical** --- **Duration:** 1 Hour 30 Minutes **Grade Level:** Senior Secondary 1 (SS1) **Subject:** Physical and Health Education **Topic:** Soccer Practical --- ### Objectives: - **Cognitive:** Understand the basic rules and regulations of soccer. - **Affective:** Develop teamwork, sportsmanship, and fair play. - **Psychomotor:** Demonstrate fundamental soccer skills such as passing, dribbling, and shooting. --- ### Materials Needed: - Soccer balls (1 per 2 students) - Cones for marking areas and drills - Whistle - Goalposts (if available, otherwise use cones to mark goal areas) - Scrimmage vests (for team identification) - First Aid Kit --- ### Lesson Structure: **1. Introduction and Warm-Up (15 minutes)** - **Brief Introduction (5 minutes):** Instructor introduces the topic, covering the importance of soccer, basic rules, and objectives of the class. - **Warm-Up Exercises (10 minutes):** - Jogging around the field (2-3 minutes) - Dynamic stretches (e.g., leg swings, arm circles, etc.) - Specific soccer warm-up drills (e.g., toe touches, butt kicks) **2. Skill Development (30 minutes)** - **Passing and Dribbling Drills (15 minutes):** - **Partner Passing:** Students pair up and pass the ball to each other, emphasizing proper technique (inside of the foot, accuracy, and control). - **Dribbling Obstacle Course:** Set up cones for an obstacle course. Students dribble through the course, focusing on close ball control. - **Shooting Practice (15 minutes):** - **Basic Shooting Drill:** Students take turns shooting at the goal from a set distance. Emphasis on using the instep for power and accuracy. - **One-on-One Challenge:** Pair students for 1v1 scenarios where they practice shooting past a defender to score. **3. Mini-Game/Scrimmage (30 minutes)** - Divide the class into small teams (depending on the total number of students, aim for teams of 5-7 players each). - Conduct a mini-game with modified rules to encourage participation and touches on the ball. - Focus on simple rules: no goalkeepers to simplify gameplay, encourage passing, and position play. - Ensure all students are actively involved and rotate positions. - Use this time to observe and provide feedback on teamwork, communication, and adherence to basic rules. **4. Cool Down and Review (15 minutes)** - **Cool-Down Exercises (5 minutes):** - Gentle jogging, followed by static stretching exercises to prevent muscle stiffness. - **Class Review and Discussion (10 minutes):** - Summary of key points from the session (rules, techniques, teamwork). - Reflect on what was learned and how to improve. - Q&A to address any doubts or questions. --- ### Assessment: - **Participation and Effort (30%)**: Engagement in drills and activities. - **Skill Execution (30%)**: Accuracy and technique in passing, dribbling, and shooting. - **Teamwork and Sportsmanship (20%)**: Cooperation and behavior during scrimmage. - **Knowledge Check (20%)**: Answering key questions during the review (rules, positions, techniques). --- ### Homework/Extension: - **Written Assignment:** Write a one-page essay on the importance of physical activity and team sports like soccer in personal development. - **Practical Task:** Practice dribbling and passing with a family member or friend, and document the experience (who you practiced with, what you focused on, improvements made). --- ### Safety Considerations: - Ensure the playing field is free from hazards. - Monitor students for signs of fatigue or distress. - Encourage hydration breaks as needed. - Have a first aid kit on hand and be prepared to handle minor injuries. --- ### Reflection (Post-Lesson): - Note observations on student performance and engagement. - Identify areas that need more focus in future lessons. - Consider feedback from students to improve subsequent sessions. --- End of Lesson Plan --- **Note:** Adapt the lesson plan as necessary based on the class size, available resources, and skill level of the students.
