1. Importance of Physical Education and Well-being

Every session is divided into Warm-up, Activity, Cool-down and Circle Time.

The chasing player in Ice Water is called the "Denner".

Seven Stones is also known as Lagori and Pitthu (other names include Satolia and Norgoloi).

The Number Game has been adopted from the local game Rumaal Jhapata.

Another player of the group has to touch the frozen player and say "water". This unfreezes the player, who can then move again.

Aerobic exercises are activities that increase our heart rate and breathing for long periods. They combine rhythmic dancing moves with energetic music.

Traditional games are best to inculcate different values and cultural understanding. They also help in making a player fit and alert.

Under Safety First we find ways to stay safe while playing, avoid injuries and create a healthy environment for everyone.

Each player jumps through the hoop to the end point, runs back and passes the hoop to the next teammate. The team that finishes first wins the game.

The message is that bones and muscles grow stronger if you exercise regularly and eat healthy food.

The rule is "Treat others the way you wish to be treated." It means we should be kind and fair to others during play, just as we want them to be kind and fair to us.

Roles are switched so that everybody gets the chance to demonstrate different movements. This keeps the game fair and lets every player both lead and follow.

The unit plans three kinds of work for students:

• Games and Fun Activities, in which we play many games and hold interesting discussions.
• Looking after each other, in which we learn to stay together, grow together and be happy for each other.
• Safety First, in which we learn to stay safe while playing, avoid injuries and create a healthy environment.

Ice Water has three simple rules:

• A player tagged "ice" by the Denner must freeze and stand still at that place.
• A frozen player is freed when another player touches them and says "water".
• A player who is tagged "ice" more than three times becomes the new Denner.

Ice Water depends on players looking after one another:

• Frozen players cannot move until a teammate rescues them, so players must watch out for each other.
• Players support each other even when they themselves are on standby and at risk of being tagged.
• The game teaches that playing together makes us feel good and gives us joy.

The striking team scores by rebuilding the stack, but it can lose players in different ways:

• It gets one point if it puts the stack back and yells the game's name before anybody gets out.
• A striker is out if the fielder behind the stack catches the thrown ball directly.
• A player struck by the ball from the fielding team is out, and if the team yells before stacking all stones, the full team is out.

Aerobic exercises build overall fitness in several ways:

• They increase heart rate and breathing for long periods, so the body works continuously.
• The workout requires oxygen for extended periods, which promotes heart health.
• Done regularly, they build endurance and general fitness, so we pant less while playing.

The Number Game is played in a circle with two teams:

• A cone or marker is placed in the centre and both teams are given the same numbers, for example 1 to 10.
• Players move in the circle as the teacher instructs, such as jogging clockwise, anti-clockwise or frog jumping.
• When the teacher calls a number, the two players with that number run to the marker; the one who touches it first gets a point, and the team with maximum points wins.

Follow Me brings children closer in these ways:

• Players copy each other's movements like a mirror image, so they must watch and respond to one another closely.
• Every child gets a turn to lead and to follow, which builds respect for each other's ideas.
• The book says playing together creates an emotional and social bond in which we share fair play, following rules and respecting performances.

The book names fair play, following rules and respecting each other's performances.

• Fair play means not cheating, for example giving everyone an equal turn to demonstrate in Follow Me.
• Respecting performances means valuing what others do, such as copying a classmate's movement sincerely instead of laughing at it.

The Hula Hoop Jump is a relay race using one hoop per lane:

• The hoop is placed on the ground in front of the first player, who jumps inside it with both legs.
• The player lifts the hoop, places it in front and jumps again, landing with both feet together, until reaching the end point.
• The player runs back and passes the hoop to the next teammate, and the first team to finish wins.

The message means we should value how hard a player tries, not only whether the player wins.

• In the Hula Hoop Jump, we can cheer for a teammate who keeps jumping steadily even if our team finishes last.
• We can also praise players of the opposing team for their performance, as the Circle Time asks.

The Ice Water Circle Time says playing together makes you feel good and gives you joy.

• Without play for 7 days, the child would miss the joy and good feelings that come from playing with friends.
• The child would also miss being together with others and supporting teammates, which is what Ice Water teaches.

Seven Stones keeps the body and mind busy in a cheerful way:

• Players strike the stack, run to rebuild it and dodge the ball, which keeps them physically active.
• The game uses agility, strategy and teamwork, so players enjoy themselves with friends.
• The book's message for this session is that playing helps you to be active and stress free.

I would act kindly and fairly to stop the bad treatment:

• I would ask the others to stop and invite the hurt player to continue playing with us.
• If it did not stop, I would tell the teacher who is guiding the game.
• I would do this because we should treat others the way we wish to be treated.

The Seven Stones session is organised as follows:

• Warm-up: Side Walk, Back Walk and Jogging Drills.
• Cool-down: Pashchimottanasana.
• Circle Time: Growing Happily, where students list what they liked and did not enjoy.

The two games use different equipment and scoring:

• The Number Game uses one cone or marker placed in the centre of a circle, while the Hula Hoop Jump uses one hula hoop in each lane.
• In the Number Game, a team wins by collecting the maximum points from touching the marker first.
• In the Hula Hoop Jump, the team that finishes the relay first wins.

The unit shows that games make us happier and help us bond with others.

• In Ice Water, we rescue frozen teammates, which teaches togetherness; the book says playing together gives us joy.
• In Seven Stones, we run, strike and rebuild the stack with our team, and the book says playing helps us to be active and stress free.
• In Follow Me, we mirror each other's movements and take turns, which creates an emotional and social bond.
• In the Number Game, we learn to treat others the way we wish to be treated.
• Thus physical activity improves both our feelings and our relationships.

Ice Water is a traditional game of togetherness, organised in four parts.

• Warm-up: Torso Twist, Squat and Quadriceps Stretch.
• Rules: a Denner chases the players; a tagged player freezes until a teammate touches them and says "water".
• The game continues until all are frozen or time is over, and a player tagged more than three times becomes the Denner.
• Cool-down: Floor Touch, Calf Stretch and Side Lunges Stretch.
• Circle Time: Being Together, where students discuss how they would feel if not allowed to play for 7 days.

Seven Stones is a local game known by many names, such as Lagori and Pitthu.

• Two teams play; stones are piled up and a line is marked about 15 feet away.
• A player of the first team gets three chances to strike the stack; a direct catch by the fielder behind the stack puts the striker out.
• Teammates then rebuild the stack and yell the game's name, while the fielders try to strike them out with the ball.
• Yelling before all stones are stacked puts the full team out; rebuilding and yelling before anyone is out earns a point.
• The game develops agility, strategy and teamwork and keeps us active and stress free.

Aerobic exercises increase heart rate and breathing for long periods.

• They combine rhythmic dancing moves with energetic music, making the workout enjoyable.
• Because the workout needs oxygen for extended periods, the heart works steadily, which promotes heart health.
• Doing it regularly builds endurance, so we can play longer and pant less.
• Safely, a student should warm up first with leaping and skipping jumps and the hip and pelvic muscle stretch, and cool down with arm swings and shoulder shrugs.
• The student should explore exercises with the help of the teacher and eat healthy food so bones and muscles grow stronger.

This golden rule from the Number Game asks us to behave towards others as we want them to behave towards us.

• In the Number Game, two players with the same number rush to touch the marker, so pushing or teasing can easily happen.
• Following the rule means touching the marker fairly without pushing the opponent.
• It also means not laughing at a player who loses the race to the marker.
• If someone is treated badly, we should stand up for them and inform the teacher.
• When everyone follows this rule, play time becomes safe and happy for all.

The Hula Hoop Jump session teaches us to learn to be happy for each other.

• In this relay, only one team can finish first, so many players will not win.
• Being happy for others means cheering for the winning team and for teammates who try their best.
• The book's message is to appreciate the effort and not the outcome of the game.
• The Circle Time asks whether we have appreciated the opposing team players for their performance.
• Such appreciation makes games friendly and helps everyone keep enjoying play.

As the leader, I would choose movements from the examples given in the book.

• I would show an animal walk, such as walking on hands and feet.
• I would do a body roll on a safe surface, and then a jump.
• I would show a stretch and then balance on one leg.
• The others would copy each movement like a mirror image, and after a set time I would switch roles.
• The game helps us move our whole body, take turns fairly and build an emotional and social bond.

Circle Time comes at the end of every session and is used to talk about feelings and values.

• After Ice Water, "Being Together" asks how we would feel without play for 7 days, showing that playing together gives joy.
• After Follow Me, "Helping each other" asks us to share a time we helped someone even when it was inconvenient.
• After the Number Game, "Treating each other well" asks what we would do if someone were treated badly.
• After the Hula Hoop Jump, we narrate our reaction to winning as a poem and think about appreciating opponents.
• In this way, each game is followed by reflection on a value.

The unit's aim of "looking after each other" is met through its games.

• Staying together: in Ice Water, players rescue frozen teammates and support each other.
• Growing together: in Seven Stones, teams work together to rebuild the stack, which helps them grow happily.
• Helping and bonding: Follow Me builds an emotional and social bond through mirroring and turn-taking.
• Being happy for each other: in the Hula Hoop Jump, we appreciate effort and cheer for others.
• The book says such behaviour makes us happier, physically and mentally stronger and more successful.

The situation shows the rules and the spirit of Ice Water.

• (i) Kabir has been tagged more than three times, so he must become the new Denner.
• (ii) Neha frees frozen teammates by touching them and saying "water", which keeps them in the game.
• (iii) The game ends when all players are frozen or when the game time is over.
• (iv) Neha shows togetherness and support for teammates, even while she is at risk herself.

The situation tests the scoring rules of Seven Stones.

• (i) The striker had three chances to strike the stack.
• (ii) Team A yelled before stacking all the stones, so the full team is out.
• (iii) Team A should have put back all the stones and then yelled before anybody got out.
• (iv) The game develops agility, strategy and teamwork.

The situation shows both the rules and the values of the Number Game.

• (i) They are racing to touch the cone or marker placed in the centre.
• (ii) The player who touches the marker first, fairly, gets one point.
• (iii) Tanya has ignored "Treating each other well", that is, treating others as she wishes to be treated.
• (iv) The other players should support Ria, ask Tanya to play fairly and inform the teacher if needed.

The case compares a regular exerciser with one who is not.

• (i) Aerobic exercises are activities that increase heart rate and breathing for long periods, often with rhythmic dance moves and music.
• (ii) Regular aerobic exercise builds endurance, so Sameer pants less and can play longer.
• (iii) It especially promotes heart health.
• (iv) The book advises eating healthy food along with regular exercise.

The case tests the correct technique and the value of the Hula Hoop Jump.

• (i) Meera should land with both feet together inside the hoop.
• (ii) She should lift the hoop off the ground and place it in front of her before jumping again.
• (iii) Asha shows the message to appreciate the effort and not the outcome, and to be happy for others.
• (iv) The team that finishes first wins the game.

The case shows why turn-taking matters in Follow Me.

• (i) The role should be switched after a set time so that everybody gets the chance to demonstrate.
• (ii) Animal walks and balancing on one leg (body rolls, jumps or stretches are also correct).
• (iii) He is ignoring fair play, following rules and respecting others.
• (iv) Played correctly, it creates an emotional and social bond among players.

The case is based on the Seven Stones Circle Time.

• (i) Students prepare a list of things they liked most and things they did not enjoy at all while playing.
• (ii) It is called "Growing Happily".
• (iii) The message is that playing helps you to be active and stress free.
• (iv) Priya can use agility and strategy, for example watching the fielders and dodging the ball while rebuilding the stack.

The case is about planning the Number Game session.

• (i) Warm-up comes first, then the Activity, then Cool-down, and finally Circle Time.
• (ii) The Circle Time theme is "Treating each other well".
• (iii) Both teams are given the same numbers, for example 1 to 10 for team A and 1 to 10 for team B.
• (iv) It comes from the local game Rumaal Jhapata.

The extract is the message from the Follow Me session.

• (i) It appears after the game Follow Me.
• (ii) Playing together creates an emotional and social bond.
• (iii) Fair play, following rules and respecting each other's performances.
• (iv) Clapping for a classmate who demonstrated a difficult balance well, instead of laughing at mistakes.

Pashchimottanasana is used as the cool-down in the Seven Stones session.

The teacher calls out the number while the players are moving in the circle.

It helps students learn to jump, manipulate and coordinate their body with the ring. It also teaches them to be happy for each other.

Students write a note on how regular aerobic exercises reduce panting. It should explain that regular aerobic exercise builds endurance and heart health, so we tire less.

The Circle Time asks us to narrate our reaction in the form of a poem. I would thank my team, be humble and also appreciate the effort of the opposing players.
