What you’ll learn

I can complete tasks through teamwork by being cooperative.

Key learning points

  • Move: moving in a variety of different ways requires coordination and agility.
  • Think: tasks are completed when everyone on the team concentrates.
  • Feel: trying our hardest throughout an activity requires self-belief.
  • Connect: team success requires everyone in the team to cooperate.

Words to know

coordination
the ability to move 2 or more body parts at the same time and move with others
cooperate
working with others to achieve a shared goal
success
trying your best, learning new things, and being confident

Common mistakes

Pupils think they must be standing up to create letter shapes. When creating words, pairs make their letter shapes in the wrong order, or facing the wrong way, so that the whole word is not seen.

Letter shapes can be formed standing or lying down. Encourage teams to imagine that they are another team looking at their word, are all letters in the correct order and facing the same direction?

For parents, carers and teachers
  • Consider delivering lesson 3 in this unit before this one. Only progress to cycle 2 when pupils have had lots of practice using the body alphabet and are familiar with the body positions.
