CONTENT SEQUENCE:
Opening/Anticipatory Set: (state objectives, connect to previous learning, and make relevant to real life) Today we are going to learn many ways to toss and catch the beanbag.
Introductory Activity/Warm-up segment:
Move and Freeze activity: Teacher conducts students by saying “go” to move in their own space while doing any kind of movement, when the teacher blows the whistle students should freeze and look at the teacher with hands on their knees and eyes directly on the teacher.
10 sec bomb activity: Students count from 10-1 (countdown) at the same time their bodies have to gradually go down by bending knees, thus when students get the number 1, they have to make any gesture and sound trying to imitate a bomb.

Game segment- Include Rule Modifications and progression through the rules:
Midnight
A safety line is established about 40 ft from a den in which two or three players, the foxes, are standing. The others stand behind the safety line and ask, “What time is it, Mr. Fox?” One of the foxes is designated to answer in various fashions, such as “one o’clock,” “Four o’clock,” etc. When the fox says a certain time, the class walks forward that number of steps. For example, if the fox says “six o’clock,” the class has to move forward six steps. The fox continues to draw the players toward him. At some point, the fox answers the question by saying “Midnight,” and chases the others back to the safety line. Any player who is caught becomes a fox in the den and helps to catch others.
Tag Games
Children are scattered about the area. One child is it and chases the others, trying to tag one of them. When a tag is made, she says “You’re it.” The new it chases other children.
· Floor Tag. Touching the floor makes the runner safe.
· Mimic Tag. Children can be safe by mimicking a particular action or pose.
· Locomotor Tag. The child who is it specifies how the others should move – skipping, hopping, jumping. The tagger must use the same kind of movement.
