Warm up
Tell children to find a space and sit down. Ask them to describe
their breathing. How do they think it will change during the lesson.
Recap on rules for playing Cups and Saucers (see Teacher Factfile)
and play two rounds.
Introductory Activity and
Experimentation
Remind children about the importance of using the workspace safely,
avoiding other children , stopping quickly and working
co-operatively. Play the game Sticky Toffee (see Teacher Factfile)
emphasising that the chain must never be more than four children
long.
Tell the children that in the next game they are going to work
against the rest of the class to score points or goals. Ask children
if they know any games that are played for points or goals. In
football what does the player have to do to score a goal? Explain
that the game today is similar but the children themselves have to
pass through the goal to score a point. The game is called Bean Bag
Goals and the aim is to score as many goals as possible during the
given time (see Teacher Factfile for instructions). Remind children
about using the space safely and avoiding others when running
through the goals. At the end of the game ask the winner to describe
how they managed to run through so many goals. Did they have any
special tactics?
Skill
Building
Tell children to choose a ball, of any size and move it in as many
different ways as they can. Challenge children to find ways that
they have not used in previous lessons. Can they find a different
part of their body with which to move the ball.
Give children a few
minutes to explore different ways then stop the children and ask if
anyone has found a different way to move a ball. Get children to
demonstrate and ask others to describe what they are doing.
Tell
children that today they are going to work on ways of moving the
ball along the floor, trying to keep it on the ground. Did anyone
use this way of moving in their own activity?
Show children how to
roll a ball a short distance and chase after it to catch it. Discuss
the importance of keeping their eyes on the ball and tracking it.
Pick out two children who are controlling the ball well and get them
to demonstrate to the others.
Ask children if they can think of
another part of the body with which they could move the ball along
the floor. Draw out 'kicking' and talk about the importance of
keeping the ball near to the foot in order to control it , keeping
eyes on the ball and also looking out for other children when moving
in the workspace.
Tell children to take a large ball and take it for
a walk around the workspace. Show them how to use the inside of the
foot to dribble the ball.
Play the game Bean Bag Goals again but this
time tell children they must dribble the ball through the goals in
order to score a point. Do they think they will score as many goals
in the same amount of time? If not why not?
Concluding
Activity
Explain that children are going to use skills learnt today to play
Bean Bag and Cone Relays. Explain the rules to the children (see
Teacher Factfile) and ask children what they must remember when
dribbling a ball through a gap and around an obstacle like a cone.
Divide the children into teams and play the game. Clear apparatus
away.
Cool Down
Tell children to stand in a large class circle. Use one large ball.
The first child kicks the ball gently to someone else in the circle
and calls their name. That child has to stop it with their foot and
pass it it to another child, again calling their name.
Sit down and
gently stretch arms up and down, repeating the action with the legs.
Ask children to describe their breathing. Were their predictions at
the beginning of the lesson right?
Ask them to explain why running
and playing games is good for them.
