Four Corners

K-5

Engagement: 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Equipment: Cones for corners Time: 10-15 min

Quick decision-making to choose corners; "it" guesses to tag. Builds quick movement.

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

Character Focus: Discernment and courage — choosing wisely like in God's guidance.

Cross-Curricular: Math (probability)

📺 Watch: Four Corners PE Demo

Comprehensive Modifications/Adaptations for ALL Grades:

K: Slow choices, seated corners, visual cues, 8-10 min (STEP: Wheelchair corners, large for visual, hand signals for hearing, simple choices for cognitive, soft calls for sensory, short rounds for fatigue, inclusive pairs)

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

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

3rd: Strategy guesses, 14-16 min (STEP: Modified movement, team roles)

4th: Competitive, 16-18 min (STEP: Adjustable space, 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 corner choice).
🔍 Explore: Hands-on discovery - Students try choosing corners, explore rules through guided practice.
📖 Explain: Teach concepts - Demonstrate proper form, explain rules, TEKS connections, character focus on discernment/courage.
🚀 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 decision-making).
