Striking and
fielding games - unit 1
Audience: Key Stage 2
Year Group: 3 and 4
In this unit children learn how to hit or strike the ball into spaces, so
that they can score runs in different ways. When fielding, they learn how
to work together to keep the batters' scores down. In all games
activities, children have to think about how they use skills, strategies
and tactics to outwit the opposition. In striking and fielding games,
players achieve this by striking a ball and trying to deceive or avoid
fielders, so that they can run between wickets or around bases to score
runs. When fielding, they try to prevent runs or points being scored.

Plans
Lesson
Plan 1: Bench Tennis
Children will practice their skills of bouncing , throwing and
catching. Children will begin to understand that when working with a
partner they can work both cooperatively and also compete against
their partner. Children will play a game using both of these
techniques. Children will
be able to invent a simple fielding game
which they will then teach to their partner.
Lesson
Plan 2: Keep the hoop full
Children will practice throwing bean bags into hoops to develop
their aim and accuracy. Children will learn what 'fielding' means and
play a game, both as a class and in small groups, where they take on
the role of 'fielder'. Children will work cooperatively to develop their
skills of throwing and catching while at the same time competing
against other teams.
Lesson
Plan 3: Drop and Catch
Children will improve hand-eye co-ordination by practicing bouncing,
dropping and catching a moving ball. Children will begin to develop the
skill of passing to a partner by throwing and catching a moving
ball.
Lesson
Plan 4: Piggy in the Middle
Children will continue to develop their passing skills and fielding
skills when working with a partner and as part of a team. Children will
begin to intercept balls thrown by their opponents. Children will
be able to play a
simple net type game that involves passing, intercepting and
scoring.
Lesson
Plan 5: Throwing, striking and fielding a ball
Children will practice bouncing and striking a ball with a bat then
retrieving the ball. Children will work in small groups to throw, strike
and field a ball working both cooperatively and competitively.
Children will use skills learnt during this and previous lessons to invent
and play their own fielding games.
Lesson
Plan 6: Duck Down
Children will practice throwing, striking and fielding a ball,
finding ways to make the collection of the ball more difficult.
Children will practice throwing a ball or beanbag over varying distances and
use these skills in a team game.
Lesson
Plan 7: Leg ball
Children will use their feet to send, control and stop a ball.
Children will practice passing the ball through targets with their
feet. Children will use their feet to field a ball and then use the skills learnt
in today's lesson to play a competitive game.
Lesson
Plan 8: Crazy Golf
Children will bring together all the skills learnt from earlier
lessons. Children will be able to select and
apply the appropriate skill and be aware of ways to ensure their own
and other's safety. Children will have learnt the importance of activity,
how their bodies change and agree that exercise can be fun.
