Where Do We Go?

Before the physical activity actually begins, the teacher will take the students out to the playground or school grounds. Each student should have a pencil and paper. Using one of the terms listed above, the student will dictate a sentence to the teacher, and the teacher will write it on the student’s paper. The sentence should include: (1) a location/chronology word, (2) an area of the playground or school, and (3) a physical activity. Examples could include, “Hop under the tree” or “Skip around the slide.” The sentences should not be elaborate or contain too many instructions. The teacher will help each student devise his or her sentence, giving aid when needed.
