Students Prior Knowledge: Baxter has undergone the Stay-In-Step Screening Test. Baxter has previously been asked to perform balance activities and he is aware of what he should do when he is asked to balance. After speaking with Baxters teacher it is clear that while he follows an activity obstacle course at least twice a week with other students, he has not had specific balance teaching. Preparation: Environment Grassy area with plenty of space A straight line

Equipment Bean bag Stop watch

Reminders: Ensure there are no hazards in the work area Ensure Baxter has proper shoes on and a hat to wear Ensure that all of the equipment is set up in the work area before beginning the lesson Thank Baxter for working with me and taking part in the activities I planned

Post Lesson Activities: If the lesson finishes early, move to the outdoor reading mat and read a book of Baxters choice
