Structural Activities- Cardio-vascular, muscle strengthening, Flexibility (Dynamic Stretching)

Functional activities: Circle, Rank and file, Free Space, Groups/Stations (25 minutes)

Consolidation: of Skills in an activity or game format – (15 minutes)

Cooldown: Flexibility (Static stretching) - (5minutes)

Teachers make apparatus of waste material like balls, ropes, beanbags, board games, peg games to develop their fine motor skills that will improve their handwriting.

Present lessons and formal assessment with a rubric as a marking tool and use their handmade apparatus in groups of 6.

Lessons form part of a platform of resource material in the google classroom. Teacher goes back to school and send in a lesson with a formal assessment of learning of their school’s context, implementing what they were taught at training to obtain the certificate at CTLI.
