About this resource

What's inside this resource

An eight-page introductory article explains the "VIP" (Versatile, Inclusive, Practical) physical education lesson-plan format created by Pete Charrette and originally published in the Spring 2009 GAHPERD Journal, including a full worked example — a "Throwing Cues & Stations" lesson for grades 2-5 with learning outcomes, instructional activities, materials, an assessment checklist, and essential questions. Three additional editable Word documents (white, grey, and multi-color versions) provide the same blank template structure — Lesson/Unit Title, Grade Level, Unit Focus, Overview & Purpose, Standards Addressed, Learning Outcomes, Instructional Activities, Materials/Resources, Safety, Modification/Differentiation, Essential Questions, and an Assessment Methods checklist — so a teacher can pick whichever color scheme fits their document style. The article argues the format works equally well as a single-lesson plan, a grouped multi-lesson plan, a unit guide, a stand-alone game plan, or a special-event plan. Copyright terms restrict copying to the original purchaser's own teaching use.

Teaching tips & learning objectives

Teaching tips

  • Read the intro article's worked example first — it shows a filled-in "Throwing Cues & Stations" lesson demonstrating how each template section should be completed.

  • Choose the color version (white, grey, or multi-color) that matches your school's printing setup or personal preference; all three share identical fields.

  • Use the Assessment Methods checklist at the bottom of the template to quickly mark which of nine assessment types (teacher observation, exit slip, Plickers, etc.) a given lesson uses.

  • Reuse the same template as a unit guide, a grouped multi-lesson plan, or a stand-alone game plan, per the five use-cases the article describes.

Skills covered

  • PE lesson-plan drafting — the teacher completes structured fields (learning outcomes, instructional activities, materials, safety, assessment) to build a complete physical education lesson plan.

  • Standards documentation — the teacher records addressed state or national PE standards in a dedicated field, using the worked example's Georgia Performance Standards citation as a model.
