The Pacific Institute for Sport Excellence (PISE) is a not-for-profit organization that is located in Victoria, BC. PISE offers in-house community programs, as well as external delivery of physical literacy programs in the community. Victoria was chosen as one of the original locations to pilot the BC Government funded After School Sports Initiative. As part of this program, the PISE team has completed two years of programming and delivery at three schools in Greater Victoria. PISE runs physical literacy programming at Saanich Commonwealth Place, The Cridge Centre for the Family, Gordon Head Middle School, Victoria West Community Centre, Craigflower Elementary School, Tillicum Elementary School, Shoreline Middle School, and James Bay Middle School. The team has compiled information from workshops, personal experience, and student feedback into a condensed document in the hope that the document will serve as a resource for others working with children and youth in communities around the province. What is Physical Literacy? Canadian Sport for Life defines physical literacy as “the development of basic movement and sport skills that allow a child to move appropriately and with control, in a wide range of physical activity, rhythmic (dance) and sport situations”. The games in this document focus on the Active Start, FUNdamentals and Learn to Train stages of the Long Term Athlete Development Model developed by Canadian Sport for Life (CS4L). These games would be appropriate for children in Preschool to Grade 6. Pacific Institute for Sport Excellence © 2013 2 What is Canadian Sport for Life (CS4L)? PISE’s programming is founded on the Canadian Sport for Life (CS4L) model. Canadian Sport for Life is a movement to improve the quality of sport in Canada. CS4L recognizes that quality sport and physical activity offer rich benefits to Canadians through improved health, stronger communities, higher sporting achievement, and stronger national identity. By improving sport, CS4L aims to improve the lives of all Canadians. For further information, check out www.canadiansportforlife.ca. Pacific Institute for Sport Excellence © 2013 3 Developmental Characteristics of Children Teaching children physical literacy in an after school environment requires not only knowledge of the movement skills, but knowledge of how to engage children so they will gain the maximum benefit from it. By recognizing the typical developmental characteristics of children at different ages, leaders are able to create lessons that are suitable for the age group that they are working with, as well as understand potential reasons why children are not engaged. The following sections (Creating Optimal Challenge, Developmental Components, Dealing With Behaviour Problems, Characteristics of Learners, Appendix A, Modifications to Increase Developmental Appropriateness and Inclusion) are adopted from the “Making Movement Matter” module* by Gail Wilson and Shannon Painter. The first describes the 4 Developmental Components that interact to create the holistic child. The corresponding

SELF, OTHER, AND JUMP ROPE COMMUNITY: THE TRIUMPHS OF AFRICAN AMERICAN WOMEN by WYNNETTA SCOTT-SIMMONS (Under the Direction of Ming Fang He) ABSTRACT Using Critical Race Theory, Critical Literacy, Black Feminist Thought as a theoretical framework and Oral History as research methodology, the lives of four young African American women are explored as they leave their culturally insular surroundings, “Jump Rope Communities”, to seek access to the codes of power and registers of language in all-White, all-girl, elite private schools during the late 1960’s and early 1970’s. In capturing the memories, perceptions, and lived experiences of these women over thirty years later, the journey into a world of divergences was explored--divergent language codes, divergent social, cultural, and economic stratifications, and divergent linguistic expectations, behaviors, and dispositions.

  • Physical Literacy at Summer Camp 4-Week Unit for Ages 5 - 8 Years
    Physical Literacy at Summer Camp 4-week unit for ages 5 - 8 years Are you looking to add some physical activity to your summer camp? This collection of physical literacy session plans has been developed for summer camp leaders who are running 4-week programs. It can also be easily adapted for 2- and 3-week camps. Each of these sessions takes about 30 minutes to complete with a group of children. At the end of each session, kids will have enjoyed a series of fun activities while developing their physical literacy. What is physical literacy? Physical literacy is when kids have developed the skills and confidence to participate in many different physical activities and sports. Fundamental movement skills such as throwing, catching, running and jumping are the beginning of physical literacy. Physical literacy is important because it gives kids the confidence to stay active for life. It’s not about being a “superstar athlete”—everyone can learn fundamental movement skills, and everyone can become physically literate! How to use these session plans 1. Decide what time of day that you will run your physical literacy sessions. 2. Review each session plan in advance to ensure that you have the needed equipment. 3. Establish a session routine for the kids (e.g. coming together and listening to your instructions at the start of each session). 4. Make sure that your campers understand your expectations for each session (e.g. stop and start on your signal, put away equipment, etc.). Tips for running a fun session 1. Manage each session so that all of the kids feel included.

  • NONCOMPETE GAMES 2018.Cdr
    WHY NONCOMPETITIVE RECREATION? THE ANSWER: COOPERATIVE GAMES The concept behind noncompetitive recreation can be either hard to understand or hard to accept or both! So who needs games nobody loses? Too often games have become rigid, judgmental, too highly organized and excessively goal-oriented. Have you seen children left out, eliminated to sit out, always chosen last, rejected and wondered why? Many children quit organized sports early because of pressure or they don’t feel they are good enough. We need to find ways for plain old fashioned fun Cooperative games offer a positive alternative. These interactive games provide opportunities for challenge, stimulation and success while eliminating the fear of failure. They foster greater communication, trust, social interaction, acceptance and sharing. Children play with one another instead of against one another. As partners instead of opponents we compete against the limits of our own abilities instead of against each other. Everybody must cooperate in order to accomplish the goals or meet the challenge. The beauty of the games lies in their versatility and adaptability. In most cases there is inexpensive or no equipment necessary. Rules need not to be strictly adhered to. Instead of being eliminated, players change roles or sides or teams and keep playing. Players can work out their own details. These games can reaffirm a child’s confidence in their selves and help them in their willingness to try new experiences. You can bring out creativity and even a boldness they never knew they had. The games can help build a “WHY NOT?” Attitude. NEVER lose sight of the fact that the primary reason children play games is to have fun.

  • Class 7 (English) 4. Game on Sec. 1 Hop, Skip and Jump
    Class 7 (English) 4. Game On Sec. 1 Hop, Skip and Jump Summary:- This section is about a street game called Hopscotch in English. This game played on the streets is usually a simple playtime activity that children do in their neighbourhood. This game is played all over India and is known by many names such as stapu, ekhat-dukhat, kith-kith, kunte bille, paandi, tokkudu billa and khane. To play the game, the player draws a grid of 8 squares on the ground with numbers from 1 to 8. The player tosses a marker into the first square and hops till the eighth square. Here the player turns around and hops back till the second square to pick up the marker from the first square and steps out. The player again tosses the marker into the second square and the game continues until all the squares have been played. There are certain rules and variations that add to the fun and difficulty level of the game. A player is considered out if the marker does not land in the right square, touches the borders of the grid or if the player touches the borders accidentally. Hopscotch is not only played in India but it is also a popular game with different names across the world. It is known as laylay in Persian, escargot in French and himmel und holle in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. There is another version of this game called Number Hopscotch. Here there is no need of tossing a marker. All they need is to just keep hopping on one foot without stepping on the wrong square.
