### Lesson

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Goals" %}

* <mark style="color:orange;">Stay within a boundary.</mark>&#x20;
* <mark style="color:orange;">Use a clue sheet (animal strip) to complete an orienteering course.</mark>&#x20;
* <mark style="color:orange;">Check codes (animal pictures) at each checkpoint.</mark>&#x20;
* <mark style="color:orange;">Improve speed by remembering checkpoint locations.</mark>&#x20;
* <mark style="color:purple;">Demonstrate locomotor skills. (S1.E1, S1.E2)</mark>&#x20;
* <mark style="color:purple;">Participate, learn, follow rules. (S3.E2, S4.E1, S4.E3, S4.E5)</mark>
  {% endtab %}

{% tab title="Delivery" %}

1. Run the boundary; discuss what is inside and outside.&#x20;
2. Pair up.
3. Explore to find animal checkpoints; return on a signal.&#x20;
4. Use the clue sheets to find checkpoints in order. Progression:
   1. Advance to clue sheets with more animals.
   2. Try a different clue sheet.
   3. Repeat the clue sheet from memory.
   4. Repeat a clue sheet to get a faster time.
   5. Complete a course using a clue sheet (2 or 5).
      {% endtab %}

{% tab title="Reflection" %}

* What do you like most about orienteering so far?
* What helped you get faster?
* At each checkpoint, how do you check you are at the right place? (by matching the animal)
* How did you remember where the animals are?
* Were some courses easier/harder? Why?
* How did you work together?&#x20;
* How do you feel after running?
  {% endtab %}

{% tab title="Extensions" %}

* Use different movements and speeds during the boundary run.
* Track course completion or times on a whiteboard.
* Move the checkpoints to new locations and start over.
* Have students draw a map of the area and checkpoint locations.
