This is a good lesson and I like the emphasis on the time frames and flow of the activity. I will be interested in reading some feedback about how this lesson went.
A lot of times when activities like this are planned, teachers forget to have an instructional component. In other words, they assume the activities are the teaching as if there is some intrinsic component within the game that will teach the kids. While there are some intrinsic values in the games, especially in the cardiovascular activity they get, they can also learn how to do things improperly in games like this. As a teacher, your emphasis should be on ensuring they are learning some valuable skills from the activities. In this regard, I recommend you cures more accurately direct them to "how" they should perform the activity. "Listen" doesn't describe what they are supposed to listen to or for. "Watch where you are going" doesn't describe what they are watching for (maybe "look for an open space?"). I assume this is meant to be a strategy (tactical) skill cue. "Tag softly" is a pretty good one, from a safety standpoint.
I think the lesson went really well. The students had a lot of energy and were fun to be around. The students really enjoyed the games and I got to know the students a little bit. It will be difficult to master all 27 of their names but I will get it done. The students really enjoyed the games. Our transitions could of been a little smoother. I think laying out what different whistles mean (ex. one-freeze, two- sit down on the stage, etc.) will help our transitions from one activity to the next go smoother. Thanks for the advice on the teaching cues. We will look to use them in our next lesson.
