What you’ll learn

I can cooperate with a partner and compete against others in a game with rules.

Key learning points

  • Move: moving quickly and accurately can help us succeed.
  • Think: concentrating on the task will improve our focus and increase our success.
  • Feel: following the rules demonstrates honesty when playing against others.
  • Connect: playing fairly demonstrates good cooperation and enables everyone to enjoy the game.

Words to know

cooperate
working with others to achieve a shared goal
honesty
playing fairly, following the rules and being truthful about your actions
rules
a guide that describes how to play a game

Common mistakes

Pupils don't perform the animal actions for a count of 6. Pupils think they have to find the cards for the animal action scavenger hunt in numerical order.

Remind pupils that keeping the rules demonstrates fair play and ensures everyone enjoys the game. Pupils can find and perform the animal action cards in any order.

For parents, carers and teachers
  • Spend time setting this lesson up beforehand to ensure maximum movement opportunities. The scavenger hunt can be completed on a playground, but if you have a safe garden area, this would be a great place to structure the lesson. Use lids from photocopy paper boxes to roll dice in.
