**Lesson Plan: Non-Locomotive Movements**
**Grade:** Primary 4
**Subject:** Physical and Health Education
**Duration:** 45 minutes
**Topic:** Non-Locomotive Movements
**Objectives:**
1. Students will be able to identify non-locomotive movements.
2. Students will practice various non-locomotive movements.
3. Students will understand the importance of non-locomotive movements in physical fitness and daily activities.
**Materials Needed:**
- Mats or soft surface area
- Music system or speaker (if available)
- Flashcards with images of non-locomotive movements
- Cones or markers
**Lesson Outline:**
**Introduction (5 minutes):**
1. **Greeting and Roll Call:** Welcome the students and take attendance.
2. **Warm-up (5 minutes):**
- Light stretching focusing on parts of the body often used in non-locomotive movements (e.g., stretching the arms, neck, back).
**Direct Instruction (10 minutes):**
1. **Explanation:**
- Introduce and define non-locomotive movements: movements that do not involve traveling from one location to another.
- Highlight examples: bending, twisting, stretching, pushing, pulling, swaying.
2. **Visual Aids:**
- Show flashcards or demonstrate each non-locomotive movement.
- Emphasize the correct form and why it’s important for muscle coordination and safety.
**Guided Practice (15 minutes):**
1. **Activity Stations:**
- Set up different stations with cones or markers, each focusing on a specific non-locomotive movement.
- Station 1: Bending and stretching
- Station 2: Twisting and swaying
- Station 3: Pushing and pulling
2. **Rotation:**
- Divide students into small groups and rotate them among the stations, spending about 3-4 minutes at each.
- Music can be played in the background to keep the energy high.
**Application/Group Activity (10 minutes):**
1. **Non-Locomotive Movement Routine:**
- As a whole class, create a simple routine combining all the non-locomotive movements learned.
- Perform the routine together to music, encouraging coordination and rhythm.
**Cool Down and Review (5 minutes):**
1. **Cool Down Exercises:**
- Gentle stretches and breathing exercises to relax the muscles.
2. **Review and Discussion:**
- Recap the lesson by asking questions like “What are non-locomotive movements?”, “Can someone demonstrate a twisting movement?”, etc.
- Discuss the importance of these movements in everyday life and different sports.
**Assessment:**
- Observation of students during activities to ensure they understand and correctly execute the movements.
- Participation in group activities and discussions.
**Closure:**
- Thank the students for their participation.
- Provide positive feedback and let them know what to expect in the next class.
**Notes for Teacher:**
- Be mindful of any students with physical limitations and provide alternative movements if necessary.
- Encourage students to practice these movements at home.
