The class are divided into groups consisting of at least three children. They line up at one sideline facing into the court area. Each group has two same coloured floor spots. The object is for one member of the group (‘sad frog’ can’t swim) to move across the without getting wet. The – ’pond’ helpers (tadpoles) are to continually move the lily pads forward so the frog has a place to jump. The two tadpoles can swim so they are allowed in the water. Once across, they must come back again from the opposite side with a new frog until all have had a go at being the frog. If a frog puts a leg into the water, that frog must start again from the edge of the pond. Remind the tadpoles to place the lily pads within jumping distance, but not too near…this can be a co-operative race!!! Introduction to control (PSSI infants Lesson 1) Strand Unit: Equipment Needed: Reference: Set Up: Split the hall in two. Place five cones on each side. Under each cone, place a picture of an animal and a crayon making sure the crayon corresponds to the colour on the master card Activity: Show the an enlarged control card. Talk about the pictures. Walk to any cone. Demonstrate how to look underneath and find the animal. Now point to the same animal on the control card and show the empty box underneath. Demonstrate how to take the crayon from the cone, colour that box and replace the crayon under the cone. Repeat as often as you feel necessary. The children now work in pairs, half the class working in each side. Give each child a control card/answer sheet. Tell them to go to each cone in turn, colour the correct on the control card and come back to you when finished. Master Card:
