Fights and Practice

Objectives (5 - 10 minutes)

  1. Introduce students to the concept of fights and practices, explaining that they are physical activities that involve specific movements and can be practiced safely and respectfully.

  2. Develop students' body awareness, showing them how each part of the body can be used in a coordinated and effective way during the practice of fights. Encourage the recognition and appreciation of each student's individual physical abilities.

  3. Foster respect and mutual understanding among students, teaching them the importance of respecting the rules and limits of others during the practice of fights. Encourage cooperation and teamwork, showing that fights and practices can be forms of positive social interaction.

Introduction (10 - 15 minutes)

  1. Review of Previous Content: The teacher starts the lesson by reminding students about the concepts of physical activity and group games that were covered in previous classes. This can be done through questions and answers, quick games, or even a short physical warm-up activity.

  2. Problem Situations: The teacher proposes two problem situations to arouse students' interest:

    • "Have you ever wondered how superheroes can fight and defend themselves so well? Do they train? And if we could also learn to defend ourselves in a safe and respectful way, how do you think it would be?"

    • "Have you ever noticed that, sometimes, when we play soccer or dodgeball, we end up pushing each other or trying to take the ball from the other? That's a kind of 'fight' too, but are there rules for this 'fight'? And if we could learn these rules and practice this 'fight' in a more organized way?"

  3. Contextualization: The teacher explains that fights and practices are activities that can be practiced safely and respectfully, and that there are specific rules and techniques for each of them. He emphasizes that learning about fights and practices is not just about learning to defend oneself or win, but also about developing physical skills such as strength, agility, motor coordination, and balance. Additionally, he points out that the practice of fights can teach important values, such as respect, discipline, and cooperation.

  4. Attention Gain: To arouse students' curiosity, the teacher can share two curiosities related to the theme:

    • "Did you know that there are many different types of fights and practices in the world? In addition to the fights we see in movies, such as boxing and karate, there are fights of Brazilian origin, such as capoeira, and even fights of Indian origin, such as yoga, which is a 'fight' against stress and anxiety."

    • "And did you know that, in some ancient cultures, fights were practiced not only as a sport, but also as a preparation for life? They taught young people values such as respect, courage, and discipline. Today, these are values that we continue to learn through the practice of fights and practices."

Development (20 - 25 minutes)

  1. Stylized Fights Games: The teacher can propose some games that involve stylized fight movements. These games should be adapted to the students' age and emphasize cooperation and fun.

    • Superhero Fight: Students will be divided into groups and each group will choose a superhero. They must create fighting movements that refer to that hero, such as the 'Hulk's punch' or the 'Spider-Man's kick'. The goal of the game is to 'defeat' the villains (other groups) using the chosen superhero's movements. It is important to emphasize that this is a simulation of a fight and the idea is to have fun, not to hurt classmates.

    • Fights Relay: The teacher prepares a circuit with different stations representing different fights, such as 'boxing', 'capoeira', and 'yoga'. The students, divided into teams, must go through each station and perform the basic movements of the corresponding fight. The team that completes the circuit first wins. The important thing in this game is for students to move in a coordinated and safe way, respecting their classmates' limits.

  2. Collective Games with 'Fight' Elements: Another option is to create cooperative games that involve fight elements.

    • Balloon Battle: The teacher fills some balloons with water and ties them to a stretched string. Students, in pairs, must try to burst the balloons with their hands, without using their feet. The goal is to work on motor coordination and spatial perception, not strength. It is important to remind students that the goal is to burst the balloon, not to hurt their classmate.

    • Ring Pass 'Fighter': The teacher sets up a delimited play area and places a handkerchief in the middle. The students, in a circle, must pass the handkerchief from one to another, without letting the 'fighter' in the middle catch it. The fighter can use fight movements to try to catch the handkerchief, but must do so in a safe and respectful manner. The goal of this game is to develop agility and strategy, as well as reinforce the importance of respect and cooperation.

  3. Creation of 'Choreographed Fights': Finally, the teacher can propose that students create small choreographed 'fights' in groups.

    • Animal Fights: Each group will receive the challenge of creating a 'fight' that represents the movement of an animal (for example, the 'snake fight' or the 'lion fight'). They must think about how this animal would move in a fight and represent it in a safe and respectful manner. In the end, each group will present the 'fight' they created to the class, and classmates must try to guess which animal is being represented.

    • Fight Dance: Students, divided into groups, can create a 'fight dance', which is a choreographed fight to the rhythm of music. For this, they must choose a song and think about how fight movements can be synchronized with the music. In the end, the groups present their 'fight dances' to the class.

These are just suggestions for activities for the development of the lesson. The teacher should choose the ones that best fit his class and adapt them according to the available space and materials. The goal is always to promote learning in a playful and enjoyable way, respecting the limits and abilities of each student.

Return (10 - 15 minutes)

  1. Group Discussion: The teacher gathers all students and proposes a discussion about the activities carried out. He can ask the following questions to guide the conversation:

    • "What were the fights or movements that you enjoyed practicing the most? Why?"

    • "What did you find most difficult in each fight or movement you tried to reproduce? Why?"

    • "Do you think that the practice of fights can help in other physical activities that you enjoy doing, such as playing soccer, dancing, or playing tag? Why?"

  2. Connection with Theory: The teacher then proposes that students reflect on the activities carried out and make the connection with the theory presented at the beginning of the lesson. He can ask:

    • "How do you think the fights and practices we did today connect with what we talked about at the beginning of the lesson, regarding respect, cooperation, and body awareness?"

    • "Did you notice that, even in a 'fight', it is important to respect your classmate and the rules of the game? How does this relate to what we discussed about respect and cooperation?"

  3. Individual Reflection: To conclude the lesson, the teacher proposes that students make a brief individual reflection on what they have learned. He can ask two simple questions that will help students internalize the lesson content:

    • "What was the most important thing you learned today about fights and practices? Why?"

    • "How can you use what you learned today in your lives, inside and outside of school?"

  4. Sharing Reflections: To end the lesson, the teacher invites some students to share their reflections with the class. This step is important to promote active listening and respect for classmates' opinions and experiences. The teacher should reinforce that all answers are valid and that the important thing is that students have learned and had fun during the lesson.

  5. Lesson Evaluation: The teacher can take advantage of this return moment to evaluate the effectiveness of the lesson. He can ask students if they felt comfortable and safe during the activities, if they found the activities interesting, and if they can apply what they learned. These answers can help the teacher adjust future lessons, if necessary, and ensure that learning objectives are achieved.
