Additional resources


The following website can assist with warm up and cool down games and activities: www.teachingideas.co.uk/pe/contents.htm. A warm up and cool down exercise must be performed as part of all lessons. The warm up exercises can be varied, depending on the nature and or intensity of the following activity, but try to keep the routine (jog, dynamic exercises and warm up game) consistent.


Teaching guidelines


• Selected drills may be new to learners. Learners must first learn the steps and format of the drills at a slow pace, and then their speed can be increased.


• Selected fitness aspects, such as sprinting activities, are of a moderate to high intensity.


• Ensure that warm up and cool down exercises are completed before and after each physical activity respectively.


• Ensure that short water breaks are provided for. Allow groups of learners to take turns to have such breaks.


• If there are learners in your class with physical disabilities, ensure that activities are adapted to include all learners.
