Lesson activities

Starter Activity

Discussion question: Ask questions around the benefits of working in a team. Ask
children to discuss how they felt when they worked as a group.

Active learning: Children will play a game of topic tennis with a partner to encourage
communication and relationship skills. Once the game is over, they then challenge
another child to play, but must use a different topic. Children must keep their own
scores.

Children will select a topic and between two of them go back and forth with words
associated to that topic until they run out of words. E.g. football. Once they run out of words or hesitate the point is won by the other child.

Main Activity

Using the same challenge cards as the previous week. (week 3).

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.
  • Ask children to describe how they felt under pressure and how they
    used techniques from previous weeks to overcome this.
  • To extend the children’s learning ask what teams or groups they
    aspire to be like and why. How does this help them become
    successful consistently?
