### Lesson Plan
**Introduction (5 minutes)**
1. **Welcome and Warm-Up:**
- Greet students and explain that today they will play fun and simple games.
- Start with a warm-up activity: Have students form a circle and follow you in stretching. Include arm circles, toe touches, and gentle jogging in place.
**Main Activities (20 minutes)**
**Activity 1: Beanbag Toss (5 minutes)**
- **Setup:** Place hula hoops on the ground at different distances.
- **Instructions:** Students take turns tossing beanbags into the hoops. Encourage them to try different distances to challenge themselves.
- **Objective:** Improve hand-eye coordination and aim.
**Activity 2: Follow the Leader (5 minutes)**
- **Instructions:** One student is the leader, and the rest follow. The leader performs simple movements (e.g., jumping, hopping, skipping), and the students imitate these actions.
- **Objective:** Develop listening skills and coordination.
**Activity 3: Freeze Dance (5 minutes)**
- **Setup:** Play some lively music.
- **Instructions:** Students dance to the music. When the music stops, they must freeze in place. Resume the music after a few seconds and continue.
- **Objective:** Improve listening skills and balance.
**Activity 4: Obstacle Course (5 minutes)**
- **Setup:** Use cones, hoops, and other available equipment to create a simple obstacle course.
- **Instructions:** Demonstrate the course first. Students take turns navigating the course by hopping, crawling, and dodging obstacles.
- **Objective:** Enhance agility, coordination, and problem-solving skills.
**Cool Down (5 minutes)**
1. **Guided Breathing and Stretching:**
- Have the students sit in a circle.
- Lead them through deep breathing exercises: Inhale through the nose, hold for three seconds, and slowly exhale through the mouth.
