Set Induction:
The teacher will show a short video or images of people, animals, and machines performing various movements. For example, people walking, animals running, and machines like cars or robots moving. The teacher will ask, “What types of movements do you see in this video? Can we move like these animals or machines?” This will stimulate discussion about different movement patterns.

Learning Resources and Materials:
- Pictures or video clips of people, animals, and machines moving.
- Open space for movement practice.
- A few toys or models of animals and machines to demonstrate movement.
- Cones or markers for movement exercises.
Building Background/Connection to Prior Knowledge:
Students are familiar with basic body movements from their daily activities (e.g., walking to school, jumping, etc.). They have previously engaged in simple games that involve running and hopping.
Embedded Core Skills:
- Gross motor skills (walking, running, jumping)
- Coordination and balance
- Observational skills
- Teamwork and cooperation
- Communication through movement
Learning Materials:

- A space for students to move around
Content:
- Types of Movement Patterns Made by People:
- Walking: Moving at a regular pace with one foot in front of the other.
- Running: Moving fast with both feet leaving the ground.
- Jumping: Using your legs to push off the ground and leap into the air.
- Hopping: A one-footed jump where one foot stays on the ground while the other pushes off.
- Crawling: Moving on your hands and knees, like a baby or animal.
- Movement Patterns Made by Animals:
- Birds flying: Birds use their wings to move through the air.
- Dogs running: Dogs use their legs to run, like people, but faster and with more agility.
- Snakes slithering: Snakes move by pushing their bodies along the ground in a wavy motion.
- Cheetahs sprinting: Cheetahs are known for running at very high speeds.
- Movement Patterns Made by Machines:
- Cars driving: Cars move on wheels using engines.
- Trains running on tracks: Trains move along fixed tracks, pulled by engines.
- Robots walking or rolling: Some robots can walk on two legs or roll like a ball.
- Planes flying: Planes use wings and engines to move through the air.

- Explain and demonstrate each type of movement (walking, running, crawling, etc.).
- Encourage students to imitate the movements demonstrated.
- Divide students into groups to practice various movements (e.g., animals moving like a dog, snake, or bird).
- Have students act out movements for others to guess.
- Provide feedback and corrections where needed.
Learners’ Activities:
- Imitate different animal and machine movements.
