Welcome students and introduce today’s focus: spotting big feelings in games and learning how to support each other while competing.

Review the objectives one by one. Emphasize that we’ll practice empathy, self-regulation, teamwork, and reflection.

Display the [Big Feelings Thermometer Chart](#big-feelings-thermometer-chart) on the board or projector. Ask volunteers to explain what the different levels feel like.

Use a timer to keep this to 5 minutes. Encourage 2–3 volunteers to share real or hypothetical experiences.

Explain roles clearly. Circulate to each group, listen for the use of regulation strategies, and offer quick coaching.

Pass out or direct students to the cards. Briefly read aloud one example scenario to model.

Read through strategies out loud and model one (e.g., deep breathing). Encourage students to pick their favorite.

Distribute the reflection worksheets now. Remind students they have 5 minutes to complete all prompts.

Invite 2–3 students to share one insight each. Summarize with key takeaways and encourage applying these skills next class.

Welcome students and introduce today’s focus: understanding 504 accommodations in PE and how they help classmates with big feelings. Explain that we’ll learn, practice, and reflect.

Review each objective briefly. Emphasize that we’ll define 504 accommodations, see examples in PE, practice empathy through role-play, and reflect on inclusive strategies.

Explain: a 504 plan is part of federal law to ensure students with disabilities get the supports they need. Distribute the [504 Accommodation Overview Handout](#504-accommodation-overview-handout) and refer students to it for details.

Discuss each accommodation and ask students how it could help someone feeling overwhelmed or overly competitive in PE.

Display the [Big Feelings Thermometer Chart](#big-feelings-thermometer-chart) on the board. Ask volunteers to describe what 9 or 10 might feel like physically and how big feelings could impact play.

Explain the role-play steps. Hand out the [504 Support Role-Play Cards](#504-support-role-play-cards). Circulate as groups practice, coaching on using both a regulation strategy and an accommodation.

Briefly read one example scenario aloud. Distribute cards and encourage students to discuss the scenario in their groups before starting the role-play.

Distribute the [Caring Competition Reflection Worksheet](#caring-competition-reflection-worksheet). Give students 5 minutes to write. Invite 2–3 volunteers to share insights and close with the takeaway: “Empathy + Accommodation + Regulation = Inclusive Play.”
