Main characters, basic storyline, and spiritual objective will all be identified. After the lesson, the rules and object of the game are introduced using sensory perspectives from the story. Each lesson will also directly address several important gross motor skill benchmarks. These benchmarks are taken from a range of sources including standards for the states of Louisiana, Texas, California, and Illinois, as well as the National Association of Physical Educators.
