ever been on a team with a
slacker? Who has ever been
the slacker?”
Ask for the management
term for “slacker.”

Lesson Plan for Group Work (for smaller classes)
Pre-Class Prep for You:
Pre-Class Prep for Your
Students:
Review the material to cover and modify the lesson plan to
meet your needs.
Bring enough 2 x 2–foot squares of fabric to have one for
every 6 to 8 students in the class, or hula hoops, or masking
tape to mark areas on the classroom floor.
Photocopy and cut into strips several recipes, one recipe per
group.
Bring enough oranges, balls, or other small spheres to have
one for every group of 8 to 10 students.
Optional: several stopwatches
Bring the book.
Warm Up
The group activities in this chapter take a bit longer to do because they involve several
repetitions to allow for comparing the results stemming from different conditions placed
on the exercise. They are also very physically oriented, and it takes a bit of extra time to
get students moved into positions to start.
