Sport Pedagogy Lesson Plan Template (Elementary and Middle School)
Teacher: Zoe Eldridge
Background Information
Date: April 7, 2016
School: Cleveland Elementary
Grade Level: 3rd grade
Lesson Focus: hand touch football
# of students: 15-20 students
Equipment and Facilities:

7 footballs
4 cones
Safety Considerations: One must be careful when on

the asphalt or the grassy area. A student can trip, fall
and get hurt. All students need to make sure that they
are paying attention over the course of the whole
lesson and all students have enough room to engage
in the activity without getting hurt. The students must
also make sure to be paying attention during the
lesson and focused so a ball does not hit them.
Lesson Specifics
Behavioral Contingencies: For every lesson, the
Previously Learned Skills: basic skills of football
student that is not behaving properly will first receive throwing and catching
a warning and a reminder that the next time he or
she acts up he will have to sit out. If the student acts
up a second time, he will be asked to sit out. If a
student sits out twice over the course of the lesson, he
or she will be sent to the supervisor.
Teaching Strategy:
Academic Language: soft touch, hands up, eyes on
The strategy that will be used over this lesson is a
ball, step with opposite foot, L-shape of arm
teacher director strategy. In this instance the students
will learn how to perform the skill from the teacher
and then practice the skill with their classmates.
Student

properly 7 out of 10 times.

throw.

for 50 percent of the lesson.

Instant Activity:
Hey Everyone! We are going to start
class with a game of red light green light.
All of you will start on the white line at
the end of the blacktop. When I say green
light, everyone should try to their best to
get to the other end of the blacktop
before I say red light. When I say red
light everyone must freeze. The goal is to
be the first person to get the other end of
blacktop.
Set Induction:
We are going to continue the football unit
today with some practice of the two-hand
touch, which is what we will do instead
of tackling. Then we will practice some
more throwing and catching with
partners.
Purpose:
The purpose of the lessons today is to
work on our tackling skills and our
skills involving throwing and catching.
One has to throw and catch the ball in
order to get a touch down in football.

Lesson Core - Task 1:
Today we are going to start class with a
game of freeze tag. One person will be
tagging the other students but in order to
tag the person you must touch the person
with two hands. If a student is tagged, he
or she will have to freeze until a fellow
teammate that is not tagged can touch
and unfreeze the person with a touch of
two hands.
Demonstration Plan:
I will first demonstrate how to properly

task
CA Standard 1.1: Chase, flee
and move away from others in
a constantly changing
environment. Students had to
run towards and from other
people in order to get to the
other side of the black top.
CA standard 5.6: Work in pairs

or small groups to achieve an
agreed upon goal.
Students will be working
together in pairs in order to be
the first to complete all
exercises.
Grouping Strategies:
I will group students
together into groups.

two-hand touch someone when tackling

in football. I will then have a student
demonstrate it.
Questions to Check Understanding
How many hands do you touch someone
when tackling them? (two hands) What
do we want to be careful of when tagging
someone else? (we want to be gentle and
not push the person down)
Transition: Have students go back to
white line and pair in groups of three
Lesson Core - Task 2:
Students will be in groups of three
relaying the football to each other. They
will practice short and long passes to
each other. The students will pass the
ball down the line of three and the last
person will have the choice of either
throwing the ball to the first person in
line or running the ball to the first person
in line.
Demonstration Plan:
I will have a group of three students
demonstrate the skills while I explain and
or help them demonstrate the skills.
Questions to Check Understanding
What is important to remember when
catching the football? (be prepared by
forming a triangle with hands and eyes
on ball at all times) Where should your
body be pointed when throwing the
football? (towards the target)
Adaptations
Students that have trouble throwing ball
can move closer to partner or run the
ball to the first person in line. Students
that are doing well can be further away
from partner and or throw the ball to the
first person in line.
