The Ultimate PE Lesson competition

This competition is now closed. Thank you to all those who entered. The winning and runner-up schools have been contacted.

See the winning lesson brought to life using motion capture technology in our new PE resource pack!

Premier League Primary Stars asked children to create their Ultimate PE lesson with EA SPORTS. We challenged pupils to get creative and come up with a lesson which they think other children will love. With a bit of help from a Premier League footballer, the winning group will have the opportunity to create their lesson using motion capture technology – the same technology used to create the movements of players in games such as FIFA 19!

Instructions

We asked pupils to:

• work in a group of 4-6 to plan their Ultimate PE Lesson
• discuss their ideas as a team
• decide on the learning outcome and skills they would like their lesson to focus on
• use the planning sheet in the supporting resource pack to draft and try out these ideas
• test out the lesson on classmates, family and friends to make sure it's the best it can be
• write their final lesson plan on the entry sheet with a sketch to show us what it looks like in action!

Final lesson plans needed to appeal to other pupils aged 7-11. When planning their lesson, groups will need to consider things such as:

• equipment and space available
• ways to make their lesson more or less challenging
• creativity and originality
• how their lesson will support at least one of the Premier League Primary Stars values:

Be ambitious – work hard and never give up on their goals
Be inspiring – set a great example to others
Be connected – work well with others and in a team
Be fair – treat people equally and think of others

Judging

Lessons were judged by a panel of PE experts who were looking for the following:

• A clear focus for the lesson (learning outcome)
• Creativity and originality
• Simple but fun ideas – is the lesson easy for everyone to understand?
• Ways to include everybody – is it clear how the lesson can be made easier or harder?
• Appeal – will it appeal to other 7-11 year olds?

Entries weren't judged on their drawing skills, the judges were looking for the most creative entry.
