Objectives (5 - 7 minutes)

1. Introduce the concept of teamwork: Students should be able to understand the concept of teamwork and the importance of collaborating with each other to achieve a common goal. Through the game of Capture the Flag, they will learn the importance of each team member fulfilling their role for the team to succeed.
2. Develop basic motor skills: During the game, students will have the opportunity to improve their basic motor skills, such as running, jumping, dodging, and throwing. Capture the Flag is a great activity for this, as it involves varied movements and requires agility and coordination.
3. Encourage socialization and mutual respect: As a team game, Capture the Flag promotes interaction among students and the need to respect the rules and teammates. Students will be encouraged to communicate, make decisions together, and respect the differences and abilities of each team member.

Introduction (10 - 12 minutes)

1. Review of previous content: The teacher should start the lesson by reminding students about the concepts of team and individual sports. This can be done by asking students what sports they know and whether they are played alone or in a team. The teacher can also ask students to demonstrate some basic motor skills, such as running and jumping.
2. Problem situations: The teacher can propose two situations to the students. The first one is: 'Imagine you and your friends are exploring an island full of treasures, but to find them, you need to work together. How would you organize yourselves to find the treasures?'. The second one is: 'You are in an athletics competition and need to run as fast as possible. How would you help each other so that everyone reaches the end of the race?'.
3. Contextualization: The teacher should explain that the game of Capture the Flag is a fun way to learn about teamwork and develop motor skills. They can mention that the game was invented in England many years ago and is now played all over the world. The teacher can also show images or videos of the game for the students to get an idea of how it is played.
4. Presentation of the topic: The teacher should introduce the topic of the lesson, explaining that they will learn to play Capture the Flag, a game that will help them better understand teamwork and have fun at the same time. They can say: 'Today we are going to learn to play a very fun game called Capture the Flag. In this game, you will divide into two teams and the goal is to capture the flag of the opposing team without being caught. It will be a lot of fun, I'm sure you will love it!'.
5. Engage students' attention: The teacher can share an interesting fact about the game to grab the students' attention. They can mention that in the past, Capture the Flag was played by soldiers in training to practice war strategies. And that today, besides being a fun game, it is also a great way to stay active and healthy.

Development (20 - 25 minutes)

Activity 1: Traditional Capture the Flag (10 - 15 minutes)

1. The teacher divides the class into two teams, A and B, and marks a playing field. It can be the schoolyard, the court, or even a space in the park if the lesson is taking place outside the classroom.
2. Each team will have a flag, which can be a scarf or piece of fabric, and their goal will be to capture the flag of the opposing team and bring it to their base without being caught.
3. Students should be instructed not to run inside the classroom or in restricted spaces and to respect the boundaries of the playing field.
4. The teacher explains that each team will have attackers and defenders. Attackers try to capture the opposing flag, and defenders must protect their flag and try to tag the opposing attackers.
5. The teacher emphasizes the importance of teamwork, suggesting that students discuss and decide among themselves who will be attacker and who will be defender.
6. The game starts with students running freely around the playing field. When a student is tagged by an opponent, they are taken to the 'jail', which is a location determined by the teacher. To get out of 'jail', a player from the same team must reach there and touch their teammate.
7. The game continues until one of the teams manages to capture the opposing flag without any of their members being in 'jail'.
8. The teacher should move around the playing field, encouraging students, addressing doubts, and reinforcing the rules of the game.

Activity 2: Modified Capture the Flag (10 - 15 minutes)

1. The teacher proposes a variation of Capture the Flag that involves more strategy and cooperation. The goal is the same: capture the opposing flag and bring it to the base.
2. The difference is that this time, the flag does not need to be captured directly. Instead, to 'capture' the opposing flag, the team must first solve a challenge proposed by the teacher.
3. The teacher prepares a series of challenges or questions in advance that are suitable for the students' age group and that stimulate critical thinking and cooperation.
4. For example, the challenge could be a puzzle, a riddle, a multiple-choice question, a guessing game, etc.
5. When the opposing team solves the challenge, they must run to the 'capture area' (a location determined by the teacher) and touch it. If they manage to do this without being caught by the defenders, they 'capture' the opposing flag and bring it to the base.
6. The team that solves the most challenges and 'captures' the opposing flag the most times within the time determined by the teacher will be the winner.
7. The teacher should emphasize the importance of cooperation and strategy in this game, encouraging students to discuss and plan together the best way to solve each challenge.

Conclusion (5 - 7 minutes)

1. At the end of the activities, the teacher gathers all students for a group discussion. They should ask the students what they thought of the game and what difficulties and learnings they had.
2. The teacher should take this opportunity to reinforce the concepts of teamwork, motor skills, and mutual respect that were addressed during the lesson. They can do this by asking students to share examples of how they applied these concepts during the game.
3. The teacher can also suggest that students reflect on how these concepts can be applied in other situations, both inside and outside of school.
4. Finally, the teacher thanks the students for their participation and effort during the lesson, emphasizing that the most important thing is not winning or losing, but the learning and fun they had.

Return (8 - 10 minutes)

1. Group Discussion (3 - 4 minutes): The teacher should gather all students in a large circle and facilitate a group discussion. They can start by asking: 'What did you think of the game of Capture the Flag?'. Each student will have the opportunity to share their experiences, feelings, and learnings during the activity. The teacher should facilitate the discussion, ensuring that everyone has a chance to speak and respecting each one's opinions and feelings.
2. Connection with Theory (2 - 3 minutes): After the discussion, the teacher should revisit the lesson objectives and ask questions that help students connect the practical activity with the theory. For example, they can ask: 'How did the game of Capture the Flag help us understand the concept of teamwork?'. Another question could be: 'What basic motor skills did you have the opportunity to practice during the game?'. The teacher should listen attentively to the students' answers and provide positive feedback, reinforcing the concepts that were learned.
3. Individual Reflection (3 - 4 minutes): To conclude the lesson, the teacher suggests that students do a brief individual reflection. They can ask two simple questions and instruct students to silently think about them for a minute before sharing their answers. The questions can be:

• 'What was the most fun part of the game of Capture the Flag for you and why?'
• 'What was the biggest lesson you learned today about teamwork and why do you think it is important?'

The teacher should encourage students to express their answers honestly and respectfully, and remind them that there are no right or wrong answers. They can encourage students to think about these questions not only in the context of Physical Education class but also in their daily lives. 4. Conclusion (1 minute): The teacher concludes the lesson by thanking everyone for their participation and reinforcing that Capture the Flag was just one of the many fun ways to learn about teamwork and develop motor skills. They can say: 'Congratulations to everyone for the effort and participation in today's lesson! Remember, the most important thing is not winning or losing, but what we learned and the fun we had. I hope you can apply what you learned today not only in Physical Education classes but also in your lives. Until the next lesson!'. The teacher then dismisses the students for break or the next activity.
