Physical Education Lesson Plan

By:Andrew Westwood

Social Network Relay

• This lesson plan is for a physical education class from grades 4-12.

• This game will allow the students top realize the danger and safety concerns related with social network sites

Introduction

• The first thing to do is address the safety concerns with social network sites such as cyber bullying and sexual predators.

• Once an overview is done with the students you are able to continue on with the lesson

Game Specifics

• This game will concentrate on sexual predators and the danger associated with social network sites

Game Sequence

• Once you are done the overview of sexual predators you will give your students an assignment

• You will get your students to make a new profile on a social network site, or make a fake profile on adobe photoshop or on word if parents are against making a real profile

Game Sequence

• The profile they make will not be a random one. They will pick characteristics out of a hand in which the teacher has made.

• These characteristics will entail things such as: - make a picture of you 10 years older- make a picture of you with different hair and eyes- make a picture of yourself as the opposite sex

Game Sequence

• There can be multiple characteristics as the same characteristic will be different for different students

• This part of the assignment will be very enjoyable for students as they will enjoy going on the computer to do an assignment

• They will also enjoy making a photo of themselves that is different from what they look like

Game Sequence

• For a preview of how to do this you can show the students adobe photoshop which is free.

• You can show them how to change hair colors, hair styles, and other features.

• The students will probably have other resources on how to do this which is fine, as long as it fits the characteristics given.

Game Sequence

• The next day once the students are back you will take all the photos of the new person with the characteristics and name stapled to the back

• You can now get the students into a warm up game of some sort for about 3-5 minutes.

• This will allow you to take the names off the photos and mix them up.

• Make sure there are two separate piles with the correct names to the photos in the same pile

How to Play

• The actual game will go as follows • You will have two groups split up evenly

between the class. • All the photos and names of one group will be

on the other groups side• This will be to make sure a student does not

get their own picture.

How to Play

• On one side of the gym you will have the names of the students in a bag mixed up

• On the other side you will have the photos nicely places along the floor with the picture side up

How to Play

• One student will pick a name out of the groups bag

• They will then run, jump, skip, shuffle to the other side of the gym, depending on what the teacher wants them to do

• Once the student is on the other side he/she will try to correspond the name with the picture

How to Play

• Once the student has picked a picture they will run back to their group

• This will continue until all the students have gotten a chance to go and get a photo

Objectives and Goals

• The objective of the game is to match as many photos with names as possible

• The team with the most matches wins• This game can be played multiple times as the

chance of the same student getting the same name is unlikely

Objectives and Goals

• The goals of the game are hidden at first to the students

• After the game is done you will ask how many they got wrong

• You will then address how easy it is to make a fake profile

• You show them that even though you may think you are talking to a 14 year old boy, you may not be.

Objective and Goals

• Once the games are over have the students show each other there own pictures, as they will enjoy looking at each others pictures

• Once this is done reconfirm the dangers and personal safety concerns

• This game was done as a fun activity, but was also done to show the dangers of social network sites and sexual predators

Objectives and Goals

• Make sure the students know that if they are threatened or weary of anything online to tell a parent or some one they trust immediately

• Also that if anyone has sent anything to you requesting something inappropriate to save it and show it to someone they trust
