Divide the class into groups
Set equipment up in a circuit
Provide a visual demonstration to occur for each activity
Each group of students is to be assigned to a station within the circuit and are to move
in a clockwise direction to the next station after 1 minute
Students are to complete the circuit. At the end of completing each station, they are to
record the amount of turns or goes they achieve, for example at the skipping station
they may have achieved 30 skips. Therefore on the worksheet under skipping,
students write 30
When all students have completed the circuit, the teacher is to fill out each
team/groups result into a class set, fill all the team results into a class copy on
whiteboard. When completed add the total amounts and discuss the purpose and
content of the two way table present. Enable students to interpret the results.
Complete this by asking questions such as “Which team has the highest amount of
shooting” as well as “What is the total amount of skipping the class completed”.
Then as a class, create a column or a bar graph on the results present and enable
students to interpret the results

Skipping

4 Individual PVC Skipping Ropes


Students skip together as a group
Students record how many skips they can complete within the set time
2
Rolling


1 Ball
1 Set of skittles


Students take turns to knock over skittles
Every skittle knocked over equals one point
Students bounce the ball on the ground
After 10 bounces rotate turns
Every 10 bounces are equal to one point

Running

Cones


Students perform a shuttle relay over 10-20 metres
Each shuttle run equals on point


Students record how many times they get the ball in the hoop
Once the student has had a shot they must retrieve the ball and give it to
the next person in the line
Each ball in the hoop equals one point
Place cones about 3 metres apart on the playing area
Students line up in two lines facing each other
They pass the ball and follow the pass to the back of the other line
Each pass equals one point
3 students line up behind each other whilst ‘Player 4’ stands with a bat (4
metres in front, facing the first person in line)
‘Player 1’ bowls under arm to ‘Player 4’
‘Player 4’ hits the ball back to ‘Player 1’ then drops the bat and runs to the
end of the line
‘Player 1’ attempts to catch the ball then gives the ball to ‘Player 2’
‘Player 1’ runs forward to pick up the bat and hit the ball
Repeat
Students record their results as a group
Each strike of the ball equals one point
