Sequencing Low Adventure Activities in Elementary Physical Education
Clocksin, Brian D.
Teaching Elementary Physical Education, v17 n3 p16-22 May 2006
This article provides physical education teachers with a practical, sequenced Adventure Education unit they can easily integrate into a curriculum. This unit was developed for a two week (e.g., 10 days) Adventure Education camp at Hofstra University. Students in 3rd through 5th grades participated in daily adventure activities during a two-hour session. The unit presented is designed to show a sequential approach to Adventure Education programming. Each day of the unit builds on students' previous experiences, a typical "Project Adventure" (PA) sequence. The sequence is constructed and maintained throughout the unit to reinforce student learning. The author discusses the "low" adventure activities that can be utilized to meet the daily themes from Days 1 to 5. (Contains 3 figures.)
