Teaching Concepts for Large Group
1. What Ball is That? Place different balls, one at a time, in a feely box (you can make one by cutting a hole out of the side of a box). Let the children guess which type of ball they think it is. 2. What is a team sport? What is a non team sport? 3. What are some rules to follow in sports? 4. What shapes do you see on the balls? 5. How long is a football field? 6. Yard Stick Measuring Show children a yard stick and ask if they know how many yards a football field is. Have children measure items in the room to find objects that are a yard tall or long. 7. Graph favorite sport 8. “Do all balls bounce?” “Do all balls roll?” “What makes balls move?” “Who uses balls?” “What are balls made of?”
Teaching Concepts for Small Group
1. Make a Team Pennant. Materials needed: Large construction paper, pennant shaped stencil (made from a file folder), markers, scissors, miscellaneous arts and craft supplies, and glue. Have children trace and cut out a pennant shape. Then glue on items and use markers to represent their favorite team or to make up their own team.
2. Football Lacing
Materials needed: Sturdy tagboard, hole puncher, shoestrings or lacing strings. Make ball shapes from the tagboard. Paint/color to look like footballs, soccer balls, etc.. Hole punch around the edges as well as in the middle where the cross stitching would be. Let children lace away!
3. How Heavy?
Provide different balls and a scale. Let children weigh them (a balance scale would be great!). You could also provide specific sport items and have them weigh them.
4. Count the laces.
Count the laces on a real football. Make a file folder with different counting laces and the matching numbers.
5. Make a soccer ball and discuss shapes what it takes to make.
6. Hide the little brown football behind one of the helmets and let the kids yell out which color helmet they think hides the ball. Then we say:
Football, football, where do you hide?
Under the (color) helmet? Let's peek inside
7. Sports hide and seek (have children close their eyes while you hide sports objects around the room, in sight, have children search for objects, first child back with objects gets to hide the objects next time and so on)
8. Ball Sizing (cut out sports balls of different sizes and have children sort them biggest to smallest, smallest to biggest)
9. Sports collage using sport magazine clippings
10. Sports Sort (Supply the children with pictures of sports objects that belong together. Have the children sort the objects according to the sport they go with)
11. Finger People Soccer Players (Give the children paper that is about 6 inches tall and 8 inches tall (rectangular). Have them draw a picture of themselves. Make two holes near the bottom where the knees would be on their person.The children place their index finger in one hole and middle finger in another. They then use their "person" to kick pom pom soccer balls!)
12. Set up a bowling alley
Teaching Concepts for Music Movement Wellness IMIL
PASS the Football Play a game of pass the football by bringing a real football, a CD Player and a CD to circle time. The children pass (not throw) or toss the ball to the person next to them while the music is playing. When you stop the music, the child holding the football yells "TOUCHDOWN!". Warm-Up Exercises Practice warm-up exercises like professional football players do by having students do jumping jacks, run in place, and stretch to touch their toes.

Teaching Concepts for Distance Learning
Move, Play and Learn Sports big and small, fast and slow.
Brainstorm opposites such as big/small, fast/slow, loud/quiet, wide/narrow, high/low, heavy/light.
In a big space: Move across the space that space starting with the first concept and end with its opposite. Example: players could begin by running very slow, gradually getting faster until they reach the other side. Or they can start by marching with big body and, as they cross the yard, gradually become smaller until they reach the end.
In a small space: Instead of moving across the space play the game by staying in place. Example: Marching in place, begin with big march to small march etc.
Charades
Private message one child with the word card. This child then pantomimes this clue while the other children guess the answer.
