Fitnessstations Lessonplan
A. Lesson Context
Rationale (relevance of lesson to unit): Students participate in 12 different stations that in some
way, use health and/or skilled related components of fitness. Students already know what these
components are and that they are posted up on the gym wall but this helps reinforce the
meaning and also what the action really looks like.
Anticipated difficulties and how they will be addressed: explaining each of the 12 stations with
demonstrations takes a while, especially for 6 th graders. The attention span is short lived
therefore, breaking after a few stations and asking if there are any questions up to this point
might help them and give them a quick rest in absorbing all the important information they will
need over the next week.
Resources, Equipment and Materials: Bottom bleacher, 6 bean bags, 6 stop watches, 20 sets of
cup stacks, 20 plain poly spots, 18 small cones, 15 softballs, 15 sheets of white paper, 10 medicine
balls, 10 small rugs/mats, 10 medicine ball poly spot workouts, tape for measuring broad jump,
permanent marker, magnets for standing vertical leap, dip bar, 3 pull up bars, hula hoops, rock wall,
peg board, 3 sit and reach boards, 10 yoga balls, 10 rings, 10 yoga ball workout poly spots, music,
microphone, stopwatch/watch, whistle.

Learning Focus Activities: Remind students of the 12 stations and what they include.
Review safety tips. Ask if there is anything that needs to be explained again. Most
classes have only rotated to 2 stations on the first day. Therefore they are to begin at
the next station that follows. Each squad line is a group and each squad has about 710 people.
Before students make their way to the station they are starting at today, tell them that
they are to still keep score for themselves at each station. Then have them walk to
their beginning station and wait until they are told to start.
Each station is 3-4 minutes in length before they are to clean up what they are working
with. (ex. Cups must be stacked in one pile, medicine balls are on carpet, softballs are
under cone, bean bags & stop watches are under their cones at shuttle run station,
yoga balls are placed on their ring stand and hula hoops are around cone)
Rotate students until 10 minutes before the period ends.
Culminating Activity: When 10-of is reached, have students clean up their station and
move to the next station without beginning the exercises. Tell students to look at their
station number on the large cone. This is where they will start tomorrow. Have students
in squad 1 get their iPads. Then squad 2. Finally Squad 3. (Switch it up for every class,
3-2-1, 2-1-3etc. so that its not always the same group going first and last.
Closure: Students should grab their iPads and sit in their squad lines. Have them
bring up Fitness Stations Checklist in Notability and fill in their scores for the stations
they completed as well as check off 3 components of fitness for each of those stations.
This is what they are doing in place of their daily chart (page 8).
Send students to locker room- can use birthday months, color of shirts, boys/girls,
locker on lock/ noneetc.
D. Reflection
Student Outcomes: Describe degree to which students met each learning outcome:
Teacher Effectiveness: What went well? What needs work? What unit modifications are
necessary?
