This post, connecting to the last, will continue exploring AI lesson plans for integrating fitness/health into the classroom and also include ways to integrate it at home in daily life. This lesson plan will focus on applying previously learned skills to at-home fitness or activity later in a fitness unit to get students excited about moving. Once again, this lesson connects to the PHE 2 or 3 curriculum and will focus further on the unit. In the same chat as the last lesson plan I asked ChatGPT to create, I prompted it with, “Can you create a lesson that is further into the unit that would maybe integrate activities at home?” The full chat can be found here.

This lesson focuses on being active at school and at home. Students begin with a warm-up movement break they are familiar with, then move into a discussion of being active at home and what that could look like. This could include riding a bike, walking home, dancing, playing a sport, helping in the garden or carrying in groceries. After the whole-group discussion, students would brainstorm in small groups about activities they already do or could incorporate into their home routines to promote fitness. The teacher would be looking for about 3 ways for the students to be active. Students would then receive a weekly movement tracker or challenge. ChatGPT suggested creating a chart with each day of the week and its corresponding activity. I don’t love this because it may create more pressure on students to do an activity every day of the week. Some students might not be able to do even a small activity every day. I would change this by creating a chart with only 3 activities for the week, and students could specify which day they did the movement. This puts less pressure on students who, for other circumstances, cannot get their movement in outside of school. I do like that students can write and elaborate on what they did at home and get excited about it, but without the pressure. After the home activities tracking sheet is explained, the lesson would be wrapped up with reflection and a sharing of what students are excited about.

This lesson, though not super active, allows the teacher to bridge what they do at school to home. Teaching students to get excited about being active and encourage healthy living. Below is a poster created by ChatGPT that could introduce students to this concept at home and track their activities.

In the next post, I will update you on my own fitness journey, and then wrap up in the last post with the whole experience and moving forward into my final practicum!
