Objectives (5 - 7 minutes)

1. Understand the basic rules of the Dodgeball game: Students should be able to understand the rules of dodgeball, including the objective of the game, ways to 'burn' an opponent, and ways to avoid being burned.

2. Develop fundamental motor skills: During the dodgeball game, students will have the opportunity to practice and improve fundamental motor skills, such as running, dodging, throwing, and catching.

3. Promote teamwork and fair play: Through the dodgeball game, students will learn the importance of teamwork, cooperation, and respect for the rules of the game. They will also be encouraged to demonstrate fair play by respecting their peers and accepting the teacher's decisions.

Secondary Objectives:

• Stimulate physical activity and movement: Dodgeball is a physical activity that involves constant movement, which is essential for the health and development of students.

• Develop motor coordination: During the game, students will have the opportunity to improve their motor coordination, which is the ability to use muscles in an organized and efficient way to perform motor tasks.

Introduction (10 - 15 minutes)

1. Recalling previous concepts: The teacher starts the lesson by reminding students about the importance of physical exercise and games in maintaining health and developing motor skills. He can ask students about games they already know and what skills they use while playing.

2. Problem situations: The teacher proposes two problem situations:

   • 'Imagine you are in a game with your friends and need to run to avoid being caught. What skill do you think will be most important for you at that moment?'
   • 'And if you were the last one left in the game, and all your friends were trying to catch you, what would you do to protect yourself?'

3. Contextualization: The teacher explains that dodgeball is a game that helps develop these skills and is played by children all over the world. He can show images of children playing dodgeball in different places and explain that, although the rules may vary slightly, the objective is always the same: not to be hit by the ball.

4. Capturing students' attention: The teacher can tell the story of how dodgeball originated. He explains that, in the past, the balls were not made of rubber, like the ones we use today, but of cloth or leather. So when someone was hit by the ball, it caught fire! Hence the name 'dodgeball'. The teacher can emphasize that nowadays, the important thing is to play and have fun, and that no one will actually get burned.

5. Introduction of the topic: To introduce the topic in a fun way, the teacher can propose a challenge: 'Who can stay still the longest? I'm going to throw the ball up, and you have to try not to move until it falls.' This will make students realize how difficult it is to stay still and the importance of movement in our daily lives.

This introduction aims to prepare students for the lesson, arouse curiosity about the topic, and establish the importance of dodgeball for physical and social development.

Development (20 - 25 minutes)

1. Explanation of the Dodgeball game rules (5 - 7 minutes)

   • The teacher should start by explaining the objective of the game: 'The objective of the Dodgeball game is to burn all players from the opposing team with the ball. The team that manages to burn all players from the other team first wins the game.'
   • Next, the teacher should explain the fundamental rules: 'To burn a player from the opposing team, the ball must touch them, and they cannot catch it before it hits the ground. If the ball touches a player and they catch it before it hits the ground, the player who threw the ball is burned and leaves the game.'
   • The teacher should also clarify that players cannot pass the ball directly to another player from the same team who is in the burn zone. They need to make the ball touch the ground before other players from the same team can catch it.
   • Additionally, the teacher should emphasize the importance of fair play, explaining that students must respect the rules, their peers, and the teacher's decisions during the game.

2. Practical demonstration of the rules (8 - 10 minutes)

   • The teacher should divide the class into two teams, clearly explain the positions on the field, and assign roles to each student.
   • The teacher, along with an assistant or student, should perform a practical demonstration of the game, following the rules explained earlier. During the demonstration, the teacher should emphasize the rules, the motor skills involved (running, dodging, throwing, catching), and the importance of teamwork and fair play.
   • After the demonstration, the teacher can have a quick discussion with the class, asking what they observed during the game and if they can identify the rules that were followed.

3. Dodgeball game in the classroom (7 - 8 minutes)

   • After the demonstration, it's time to have the students play. The teacher should supervise the game, reminding students of the rules when necessary and encouraging everyone to participate.
   • During the game, the teacher should observe the students' actions, correcting any mistakes and reinforcing the necessary rules and motor skills.

4. Post-game discussion (5 - 7 minutes)

   • After the game, the teacher should gather the class for a discussion about the experience. He can ask students what they liked and found challenging in the game, how they felt while playing, and how the interaction with their peers was.
   • The teacher should also take this opportunity to reinforce the concepts learned, connecting the practical experience of the game with the rules and motor skills discussed earlier.

This development allows students to actively engage in learning, apply the rules of the dodgeball game, and develop their motor skills. The teacher, in turn, can observe the students in action, identifying any difficulties or areas for improvement that can be addressed in future lessons.

Feedback (8 - 10 minutes)

1. Group discussion (3 - 4 minutes)

   • The teacher should gather all students and propose a group discussion about what they learned from the lesson. He can ask targeted questions to each team, such as: 'What tactic did you use to try to burn the players from the other team?' or 'What strategy did you use to protect yourself and avoid being burned?'
   • The teacher should encourage all students to participate, promoting an environment of respect and active listening. During the discussion, the teacher can reinforce the concepts learned, correct possible misunderstandings, and praise the students' efforts and achievements.

2. Connection with theory (2 - 3 minutes)

   • The teacher should then guide students to reflect on the connection between the practice of dodgeball and the rules and motor skills discussed in the lesson. He can ask: 'How did the rules of the dodgeball game help you move in an organized and efficient way?' or 'What motor skills did you use during the game and how were they important for the outcome?'
   • The teacher should explain that practicing the game is a way to apply the theory learned and that reflection on practice is important to consolidate learning.

3. Individual reflection (3 - 4 minutes)

   • To end the lesson, the teacher should suggest that students make an individual reflection on what they learned. He can ask students to close their eyes and think about the following questions:
     • 'What was the most fun part of the dodgeball game for you and why?'
     • 'Which skill do you think improved during the dodgeball game? Why?'
     • 'What did you learn today that can help you in other physical activities or games?'
   • After a minute of reflection, the teacher can invite students to briefly share their answers, if they feel comfortable.

This final feedback allows students to consolidate what they learned during the lesson, reflecting on their experiences in class. Additionally, it promotes self-assessment and the expression of thoughts and feelings, important skills for the emotional and social development of students.

Conclusion (5 - 7 minutes)

1. Lesson Summary (2 - 3 minutes)

   • The teacher starts the conclusion by summarizing the main points covered during the lesson. He should remind students about the rules of the dodgeball game, the importance of fair play, the motor skills practiced, and the connection between theory and practice.
   • The teacher can also reinforce the idea that dodgeball is an activity that contributes to physical health and the development of motor skills, as well as promoting social interaction and respect for rules and peers.

2. Connection between Theory, Practice, and Applications (1 - 2 minutes)

   • The teacher explains that today's lesson was structured to connect theory, practice, and applications. He can say: 'We started the lesson by learning the rules of the dodgeball game, which is the theoretical part. Then, we put these rules into practice, playing and experiencing the necessary skills. And now, we are reflecting on how these rules and skills connect with what we did and learned today'.

3. Extra Materials (1 - 2 minutes)

   • The teacher suggests extra materials for students who want to deepen their knowledge about the dodgeball game. He can recommend children's books about games and play, educational videos available on the internet, or even virtual dodgeball games that can be played at home.
   • The teacher can say: 'If you enjoyed the dodgeball game, I recommend that you try playing in other places, with other people. And if you want to learn more about the game, you can ask your parents to help you find books or videos on the subject. Remember: playing is a great way to learn!'.

4. Importance of the Subject (1 minute)

   • Finally, the teacher emphasizes the importance of the dodgeball game, and other games and play, in students' lives. He can say: 'Dodgeball, like other games and play, is very important for our development. By playing, we learn to respect the rules, work as a team, deal with victory and defeat, and move in a healthy and fun way. So when you are playing, remember: besides having fun, you are learning and growing!'.

This conclusion moment allows students to synthesize what they learned during the lesson, connecting theory with practice and reflecting on the importance of the content for their lives. Additionally, it offers suggestions of extra materials for students who want to deepen their knowledge about the dodgeball game.
