lessons, especially outdoor sessions. You need to be able to manage a group of learners and in some cases a very large group of learners.
Do not stress! There are key strategies that will assist you to conduct efficient, effective and fun PE lessons. The key is to plan ahead. Firstly, decide on the activities for the lesson. There are questions which you need to ask yourself. These should include: • Are you conducting a whole-class activity or would pairs or groups work better, or a combination?
• Are you combining the boys with the girls? • Are you choosing groups or are learners choosing their groups or partners? See what will work best for the activity. You know your learners capabilities, so group them according. Do not always group the best learners together.
• Do you have learners with disabilities? If so, ensure that these learners participate in the lesson. You may have to adapt the lesson to cater for their needs.
• Do you have adequate equipment? If not, do not cancel the lesson. Adapt the lesson to suit you and your learners. Improvisation may be needed. Working in groups and rotating tasks works best. Avoid leaving a group idle while they wait their turn. The key is to keep all learners active.
• Do you have an alternative for bad weather conditions? Always have a back-up plan.
The activities for the Physical Education component in this book should be used as a guideline. It is important to note that activities may be repeated in order for learners to effectively perform and master fundamental skills.
