Title – Spongebob Four Corner Fun
By – Rosie Santiago
Primary Subject – Health / Physical Education
Grade Level – K-1
Before the lesson, hang up four large posters on the wall on each corner of the gym
(each being a different Spongebob character or any cartoon characters that the children like) .
To begin the lesson, show the students each of the corners and the pictures on them. Let them know how that when the music starts they will be moving around the gym in their own space using a specific movement that will be called out by the teacher. When the music stops, they are to safely move to one of the four corners and wait there for a second while you roll a die that has the pictures on the wall on it. the teacher then yells out which cartoon character has come up and the students standing under that character will get to decide which way they would like to move around the gym next when the music begins. (Run, skip, jump, etc.) If students grasp all of the movements and are performing them correctly, then you can add pathways, direction, levels, etc.
