K-5

Engagement: 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Equipment: Giant die Time: 10-15 min

Roll die for locomotor style or who is "it." Builds chasing with choice.

TEKS Alignment: K.1A (locomotor), K.2C (follow directions)

Character Focus: Fairness and fun — accepting God's random blessings.

Cross-Curricular: Math (probability)

📺 Watch: Dice Tag PE Demo

Comprehensive Modifications/Adaptations for ALL Grades:

K: Simple rolls, seated tag, visual cues, 8-10 min (STEP: Wheelchair tag, large die for visual, hand signals for hearing, simple choices for cognitive, soft tags for sensory, short rounds for fatigue, inclusive pairs)

1st: Add locomotor styles, 10-12 min (STEP: Adaptive movements, verbal/visual cues, buddy support)

2nd: Group dice, 12-14 min (STEP: Seated options, color-coded for visual)

3rd: Strategy choices, 14-16 min (STEP: Modified tag, team roles)

4th: Competitive rolls, 16-18 min (STEP: Adjustable intensity, time extensions)

5th: Advanced variants, 18-20 min (STEP: Inclusive teams, sensory adaptations)

5E Lesson Plan Structure:

🔥 Engage: Hook activity - Quick warm-up demonstration of game concept, show excitement for the activity (demo die roll).
🔍 Explore: Hands-on discovery - Students try rolling/tag, explore rules through guided practice.
📖 Explain: Teach concepts - Demonstrate proper form, explain rules, TEKS connections, character focus on fairness/fun.
🚀 Elaborate: Apply/extend - Full game play with variations, leadership roles, cross-curricular connections (math probability).
✅ Evaluate: Assess learning - Check understanding of skills, character development, TEKS mastery (observe chasing).
