Next on slide 4 the students can do a feelings scavenger hunt where they find something in the classroom (or home if it remote) that reminds them of that feeling. There is animated picture of feelings that come up on the screen. This gets kids up and moving in the classroom and having fun.

In this lesson, students will learn about how to be good sports. They will learn about poor versus good sportsmanship. There is a 6 slide Google Presentation that guides the lesson. Please review the slide notes on each slide to better understand the directions and flow of the lesson. The 7th Slide is a personalized handout you can create for each student with their name and it will state " Jenny Is A Good Sport" or whatever you would like to say on it. Simply click on the Word Art and change the name or words for your sports' personalized mindfulness coloring sheet. This is a great extension to this lesson. The lesson begins with a quick opener of having the students do 5 wall or floor push-ups. This is a great opener and engagement activity. Then student will think-pair-share with a partner about poor versus good sportsmanship examples. Then they can share out or you can have a student or two write down the poor versus good examples in a T chart on the Smartboard or a poster sheet. Next students will tally the amount of good sportsmanship examples they see in a Youtube video. Discuss everyone's calculations! Next, you will discuss the directions to the game of slapjack (the video is in the slide on Slideshow and also in the Slide Notes). This is where the teachable moments come in. Say to the class "Please look for the person in your group who is showing Good Sportsmanship" behaviors. After the game, ask students to write down the name of someone of a couple people who showed good sportsmanship behaviors. Then as you say the names, ask the students to echo each name to honor those students. Lastly, if there is time or on another day, copy the personalized handouts for each student with their name. You may change the wording if you wish!!!
