The document provides details on several group presentations for an HPE 431 class, including games and activities focused on health, safety, nutrition, and physical education for different grade levels. Groups will present games like Musical Chair Safety Signs, a Hula Hoop Nutritional Game, and a United States Bingo activity incorporating maps and state names. The presentations provide summaries of the activities including objectives, materials needed, and instructions.

1. HPE 431 Integration Assignment

2. Group 3 Wimba Presentation Barbara Boyett Mallory Fallin Justin Fletcher Holly Gothard Bonnie Howard Cindy Yates

4. Hula Hoop Nutritional Game

6. Hula Hoop Nutritional Game Grade Level – 3rd grade and up Number of participants: divide the class into four groups Materials/equipment needed: 5 hula hoops, Cards with the five different food groups on them. Each hula hoop will contain a different food group. Description: One member from each group will choose a hula hoop. The person that hula hoops the longest will get to keep that card with the food group listed on it. The groups will continue to rotate members until the team has all five food groups to make a nutritionally balanced meal.

7. United States Bingo Grade Level – 5th and 6th grade Number of participants – each student in the class will participate independently. Materials/Equipment – Map of the US without the names of the State on them. Bingo cards with letters on them, dots of paper to cover letters, Cards with names of the States, tape. Description – The teacher will call out a letter, if a student has that letter they can name a State that begins with that letter. Once a student bingo they will be given a card with the name of a State on it. They will then walk sideways or backwards to the map and place the State in the right place.

9. Coach Fletcher Says

11. Justin Fletcher Coach Fletcher Says: (A Health Nutrition Activity) Grade Level/Levels: Pre-K- Third Grade Number of Participants Required: Unlimited Materials/Equipment Needed: None Activity: Coach Fletcher will teach the students about proper nutrition. He will emphasize eating healthy fruits, vegetables, dairy products, and grains as part of a balanced diet. After the students have grasped the difference between healthy and unhealthy foods, the class will play “Coach Fletcher Says,” modeled after Simon Says. When Coach Fletcher calls out a healthy food, the students will perform the exercise he suggests. When Coach Fletcher calls out an unhealthy food, they will not perform the exercise he suggests. Any students that choose the wrong food will be out of the game and will sit quietly in their spot. Examples: “If broccoli is good for you, run in place.” (students would run in place) “If chocolate cake is nutritious, do five jumping jacks.” (students would not move)

12. Justin Fletcher Walk Across Alabama (A Geography in Motion Activity) Grade Level/Levels: 3rd-5th Grades Number of Participants: One or more classrooms Materials Needed: Map of Alabama, pedometers, classroom chart, Pushpins Activity: Coach Fletcher’s classroom will learn about different cities and counties in the State of Alabama by virtually walking through them. Each child will be given a pedometer at the start of the class period to record their steps. At the end of the class period, each student will record his or her steps for the day beside his or her name on the classroom chart. This will be a month long exercise where we try to make it from Hartselle, Alabama, to the sandy beaches of the Gulf Coast. We will tally our steps on Friday of each week, mark our progress on the map, and discuss interesting facts about the cities and counties we have “traveled” through. If we reach our goal by the end of the month, we will have a beach themed party to celebrate.

14. Shopping for Healthy Snacks

16. 1st or 2nd

17. Participants Needed:

18. Any amount of students as long as enough squares are printed and laminated for all students to have one to stand on.

19. Materials Needed:

20. Laminated squares of colored paper (red, yellow, and green)

21. CD player with CD of children’s songs

22. Large poster of a traffic signal and one of a stop sign

23. Directions:

24. There will be laminated squares of paper in the colors red, yellow, and green placed on the floor (in random order) in a square shape around the outside of the students’ desks.

25. The teacher will display the poster of the traffic signal and explain that red means stop, yellow means go slow, and green means go.

26. The music will play and the children will walk around the room in a clockwise motion and will step on each consecutive square.

27. When the music stops she will hold the poster of the stop sign. The child must stop on the square they are on.

28. If their color is red, they will freeze and stand very still. If the child stops on yellow, they will walk in place slowly. If the child stops on a green square, they will jog in place on the square.

29. When the stop sign goes down, the music will start again and the children will walk around the room stepping on the squares.

31. The teacher will give each group one basket, one clipboard with a pencil, and one shopping list.

32. Students will walk around the room choosing the correct amount of healthy snacks for the colors on their shopping list. They will make a check mark in the box next to the color of the snack that they choose. (See example shopping list)

33. When students have completed their shopping, they will bring their items to the “check-out” at the teacher’s desk.

34. The students will count each color individually and then will count all the items in their basket. As they take items out of the basket, they must name the fruit, vegetable, or other healthy snack.

35. Students will choose one food item and one juice that are in the room to eat for snack this day.

36. Grade Level:

37. Kindergarten-1st

38. Participants Needed:

39. Students will be paired into groups of 2

40. Materials Needed:

47. The child with the die will roll it. The child will have to complete that number of challenges.

48. Each challenge will consist of the other children in the group drawing a physical activity and a reading challenge. These children will read the card to the child completing the activity. (Example: “If hop on one foot” was drawn along with “Spell your first name”, the child would have to hop on one foot while spelling their first name)

49. After the child has completed their number of challenges (according to the roll of the die), the students will switch places in order. Place number 1 will be the physical activity bag, place number 2 will be the reading challenge bag, and place 3 will be the child completing the activity.

50. The game will continue in this manner: child 1 moves to position 2, child 2 moves to position 3, and child 3 moves to position 1.

67. The child who correctly answers the question first returns to their group at the end of the line.

68. The 2nd person (now standing 1st in line) will read their individual method of jumping and go to the trampoline.

69. The 1st child from the other groups remains jumping for the next question and does not return to their group until they are the first person to correctly answer a question.

71. A large room is need for each child to have a straight space out in front of them.

72. The teacher will ask math questions (ex. 4-3 or 2+1)

73. Small equations are needed for small answers in order to have more math problems accomplished.

A picture will be shown to the participants of Safe and Unsafe Behavior, in order for the student to answer whether the picture is a Safe or Unsafe behavior they have to do a jumping jack. Who ever does the jumping jack first will answer the question. In order to earn a point for your team you have to name whether it is a Safe or Unsafe behavior, and ways that it is Safe or Unsafe. For example, the picture show Drinking the participant will say “Unsafe, the behavior is unsafe because it is bad for the health of your liver”. Once the player answers the question correctly they jog to the end of the line and wait for there next turn. The first team to ten points wins. SAFE/ UNSAFE YOU CHOOSE!!!!!
