Expected Outcomes:

Psychomotor

1. Stop when given verbal, audio or visual command.
2. Move safely among other students as they travel through space.

Cognitive

1. When prompted, choose at least three different ways of traveling

Affective

1. Have Fun

Teaching Tips, Assessments & Differentiation Strategies

If you break one the safety rule, you will sit out of the activity. Once you are ready to be safe you will be able to come back into the activity. If you break a second rule you will have to sit out for the rest of the physical education class. (At this time you should ask your students if they have any questions.)

Once you are sure your students understand the rules, you can move on to review boundaries.

Rainbow Tornado

I will have the class standing inside a specific area, a circle or square already marked on the ground. They will be standing as a group, facing away from the sun.

As your students move around the space, watch to see that they are traveling safely staying away from each other.

Teaching Tips

Encourage them by pointing out the students that are looking where they are going.

Remind them as they travel to:
*Look for open spaces to move toward.
*Move away from everyone.
*Look for a space where no one else is.
*Travel away from people, if someone moves toward you, move away from them.
*Look where they are traveling.

1. When the music plays you should travel around the space. When the music stops you should freeze. Each time the music plays you must pick a new way to travel.(play the whole song)

2. When you hear the drum beat you should travel. When the drum stops beating you should freeze. “This time when you freeze, freeze in a funny shape. This time when you freeze, freeze in a small shape. I’m going to keep playing the drum, and each time that you freeze find a new shape to freeze your body in.

3. This is the hardest one of all! This time I am not going to play the tape, or play the drum. I’m going to hold up a poly-spot. If I hold up the green one, that means go. If I hold up the red one, that means stop. You will still have to look where you are going, and also keep an eye on me. If you notice other students are freezing, that will also give you an idea to look up at me. Ready? (Start holding up the cards.) You will have to remind them to look where they are going, and to look at you. You should rotate around the space as you are holding the cards up.

Part three should contain some cognitive choice.
There should be no choice regarding stopping and starting.
The choice then becomes the way the students travel as they are moving through the room space. There can also be choice in the way they hold their body shape when they are told to freeze. You can make the task more difficult by introducing different stimuli regarding the stopping and starting.  These tasks will also help the students incorporate the skill into a variety of situations. Similar to teaching a sport skill and then using it during a game.

Do at least 3 stretches.  Take this time to teach your students the names of the major muscles they are stretching.  While you are stretching or immediately after you finish stretching review the lesson with the class.

Review

1. What do you do when I say freeze?
2. Where do you look when you are traveling?
   What does it mean to “be safe”?
