Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

Learners bend their needs, push against the ground to skip and leap as many times as they can at their own pace in a demarcated area. Learners practice the activities as individuals and in groups at their own pace.
Organise competition for learners in groups. End the lesson with cool down and use questions to summarise the lesson.
