![]() Name of Activity: Bone Skit
Purpose of Activity: The purpose of the activity is to engage the students in higher level thinking to be able to use anatomical terminology while performing a skit. Suggested Grade Level: 3-5 Materials Needed: Print out of the storyline and props if you want to include them. You must have reviewed the basic bones of the body to be able to begin. I use the DEM BONES LESSON on PE Central as a precursor to this lesson. Description of Idea Scene One: A boy in one car, one girl in another car and a police officer waiting at the curb. Also have a director that stands behind the audience to help out the actors if they get stuck. Rules: you cannot do anything before the narrator reads the story. Audience participating: They buzz whenever the bee is mentioned and they do the siren sound everytime the police officer is mentioned. Story: One day ________(boy) was driving with his metacarpals on the steering wheel when a bee entered his window and he begins to swat the air with his phalanges. The bee swooped down and stung him on the cartilage part of his ear. As this was going on a _____(girl) drove up next to him and began waving her metatarsals out the window throwing her tibia and fibula in the air. Immediately the boy shrugged his clavicle and smiled brightly and showed off his humerous. The girl responded by shaking her cranium from side to side indicating that she was not interested in the boy but also had a bee in her car that she had been swatting at with her metatarsals trying to stomp it out on the floor. Both boy and girl were being attacked by bees in their car with their clavicle shrugging and rib cage rising and pelvis wriggling in the seat in hopes of not being stung. Due to their irratic driving, a police officer pulls them both over and says, “Put your metacarpals on your cranium”. Step out of the car by bending your pelvis and patellas and getting out of the vehicle. Now, please bend your vertebrae over the front of the car. Now just to make sure no one was under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs, we will conduct a simple test. Please sqat down using your femur 3 times. Next, touch your cartilage on your nose with the tip of your metacarpal, switching hands for 4 times. Suddenly the two bees attacked the police officer. He went right to his patellas and the bees began buzzing around his femur. He started jumping up and down kicking his tibia and fibula trying to scare the bees away. Just then, the bees decided to both land on the police officers sternum. The boy and girl stared at the bee and started to tip toe on their phalanges silently trying to get close to the bees. As the girl raised her left metacarpal in the air and prepared to strike, the bee flew off and stung her on the cartilage of her nose. THE END. Assessment Ideas: Have the students create their own skits using all the bones you discuss in class. Teaching Suggestions: The teacher needs to create a rubric for assessment purposes PRIOR to teaching this lesson idea. Students will then be able to use this rubric to create their own skit and/or assess others. |
