Lesson activities

Starter Activity

Discussion question: Ask pupils to talk about a time when they felt they were resilient in a team. Ask questions around what benefits it had on their feelings and mood. Discuss the meaning of TEAM (Together Everyone Achieves More) and relate this back to the children’s favourite team or club.

Active learning: Children will play a game of rock, paper, scissors with a partner to encourage communication and relationship skills.  Using effective communication skills, they then challenge another child to play. Children will need to play against as many children as possible to experience winning and losing.

Main Activity

Using the same challenge cards as the previous week (week 1).

Split the children into pairs and ask all children to sit down in a small area in the middle of the hall. Select a pair to start from a station of their choice and give them one attempt to complete the challenge.

Encourage children to watch quietly and observe their classmates undergo the challenges (creating an atmosphere). Children will be asked to reward with a clap and constructive feedback if the challenge is not completed.

Explain the rules of the competition:

  • If a pair completes the challenge the whole group move onto the next station, i.e. number 2 (moving clockwise around the room).
  • A different pair will then undergo the challenge in order to progress.
  • If a pair fail the challenge the whole group starts from the beginning and a new pair is selected to do the challenge.
Plenary
  • Ask children to form a circle at the end of the lesson to review and give feedback following the lesson.
  • Encourage children to describe how they felt when they failed and how they overcame the failure.
