environmental stressors). Safety: Students will stay in their own personal space. Students will only practice the dance moves that are being taught. Students will keep themselves under control. Health-Related Fitness (HRF) Component & Activities that Support Learning of HRF: Flexibility: Dance involves many different muscle groups being used at the same time. Dancing puts stress on different muscle groups through movements that are being done. These movements need to be crisp and under control. Flexibility will allow for the dance routine to be completed as crisp and collective as can be. Set Induction: 2 minutes 1. An introduction will be given to allow for the students to find out who I am and so I can find out who they are. 2. I will ask if any one of the students have participated in a dance or if any one of the students have been in dancing. 3. I will ask the students want they think the most popular dances moves are. Instant activity: 3 minutes Dont get caught with the cookie Two students will be designated as taggers, and those students will be given pennies. Out of the remaining students, half will be given balls, and half will not be given balls. The taggers can only tag a student who has a ball, or cookie. To keep from getting tagged, the students must throw the ball to a student who is in open space and who does not have a ball. If the ball is dropped while being thrown, both the thrower and the student to whom the ball was thrown to must do 5 jumping jacks. If a student with a ball gets tagged, they must also do 5 jumping jacks. You cannot throw it back to the person who threw it to you. Change taggers often.
