Toss into targets or over cones. Builds aiming.

TEKS Alignment: K.1C (manipulative tossing), K.2A (cooperation)

Character Focus: Accuracy and perseverance — trying again with God's strength.

Cross-Curricular: Math (counting tosses)

📺 Watch: Hoop Toss PE Demo

Comprehensive Modifications/Adaptations for ALL Grades:

K: Close targets, seated tosses, visual cues, 8-10 min (STEP: Wheelchair tosses, large hoops for visual, hand signals for hearing, simple one-toss for cognitive, soft items for sensory, short turns for fatigue, inclusive pairs)

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

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

3rd: Team toss, 14-16 min (STEP: Modified tosses, team roles)

4th: Competitive tosses, 16-18 min (STEP: Adjustable distance, 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 toss into hoop).
🔍 Explore: Hands-on discovery - Students try tosses, explore rules through guided practice.
📖 Explain: Teach concepts - Demonstrate proper form, explain rules, TEKS connections, character focus on accuracy/perseverance.
🚀 Elaborate: Apply/extend - Full game play with variations, leadership roles, cross-curricular connections (math counting).
✅ Evaluate: Assess learning - Check understanding of skills, character development, TEKS mastery (observe aiming).
