Objective

By the end of this lesson, you will be able to express your creativity through art, improve your reading skills, practice basic math concepts, enhance physical fitness through skateboarding, and understand the science behind skateboarding tricks.

Materials and Prep

• Skateboard
• Paper and coloring materials
• Storybook
• Counting objects (e.g., toys)
• Space for physical activities

No prior knowledge required, just bring your enthusiasm for skateboarding!

Activities

• Art: Draw and color your dream skatepark or design a cool skateboard graphic.
• English: Read a skateboarding storybook and discuss the characters and plot.
• Math: Count the number of wheels on your skateboard and practice addition and subtraction using your skateboard and toys.
• Physical Education: Practice balancing on your skateboard, learn to push off, and try rolling on a flat surface.
• Science: Explore the science of friction by learning how your skateboard wheels grip the ground to help you perform tricks.

Talking Points

• Art: "Let's use our imagination to create a colorful skatepark on paper. What colors do you want to use?"
• English: "Reading this skateboarding storybook can take us on exciting adventures. What do you think will happen next?"
• Math: "Count the wheels on your skateboard with me. How many wheels do you see? Let's add two more wheels. How many do we have now?"
• Physical Education: "Balancing on a skateboard is like balancing on a tightrope. Can you show me how you balance while standing on the board?"
• Science: "When you do a trick on your skateboard, the wheels need friction to grip the ground. Let's learn how friction helps us perform cool moves!"
