Learning Objectives

Indicator: B8.2.1.3.1 - Classify and perform global and traditional rhythmic gymnastics movements (e.g., group dance movements- nobabie, hoo-londoreho! etc.) and adaptation for creativity, communication and cultural identity

By the end of the lesson, learners can:

Identify and classify given rhythmic gymnastics movements as either traditional Ghanaian or global in origin.
Perform at least two traditional group dance movements (e.g., nobabie, hoo-londoreho!) with correct rhythm and coordination in small groups.
Synchronise individual movements with group members to create a short, original rhythmic sequence that blends traditional and global movements.
Record the estimated duration of their group performance in their self-journal, noting their personal effort and involvement.
Demonstrate respect and appreciation for the cultural origins of the dances performed by peers from different regions.

This lesson builds directly on the classification and performance of socio-relational games (B8.2.1.1.1) and individual and group traditional dance movements (B8.2.1.2.1) covered in Term 1, where learners already explored dances such as kpanlogo and wan tiadoone. It now extends that work by adding global rhythmic movements and emphasising synchronisation and adaptation.
