know before starting.
-Also, by asking Mrs. Zook, I can gain a general understanding of where
they stand.
-Get students to answer by putting up their hands, and if there is a lack
of participation, as more specific questions (ex. Have you learned how
to set the ball? Do you guys know how to underhand serve? Etc.)
-Students will follow teacher’s instructions.
-Students will stay focused and will participate in the learning activities.

1. Warm up
2. Beach ball volleyball
3. Fukuhara
4. Cool down
Sponge = Dead fish
-Explain to the students that we are going to start our class by warming
up with a tag game
-On-site supervision
-Have students assist in setting up and taking down nets.
-Students should not climb nets or anything assisting the net
-Ball should be appropriate for age and ability of students.
Body
Warm Up (Line Tag) (LO2)
-Explain the rules:
-You must stay on the line at all times.
-If the it person (who is on a line on the floor as well) tags you,
you become a rock and you sit on the line right where you are
tagged. This is a way of trapping you.
-Only the “it” person can step over the rock. Others cannot,
therefore they need to run and try not to trap themselves.
-The purpose of the game is to get all students turned into rocks. Try
your hardest to stay on the lines.
-Pick one person to be it, and get the game started. If it is too hard, make
one or more other students it at the same time.
-Observe the students as they play this tag game. Look to see if they are
playing by the rules and expectations of the game.
-They will be using individual manipulative skills while running
throughout the gym. (LO 2).
Beach Volleyball (LO 1, 2, 3)
-Review the rules or volleyball and changing positions.
-Get students split into two teams with subs.
-Explain that we are going to use a beach ball to make it easier for them
to keep control of the ball because it will fall to the ground at a slower
rate.
-Explain that they may have played volleyball before by holding the ball
and focusing on the concept of getting 3 plays.
-But in this game they want to focus on direct passing back and forth,
but remember to try and include 3 passes as well.
-Explain the importance of communication during team sports and have
them focus on calling mine and classmates names that they may be
passing to.
-Explain some safety guidelines.
-Observe students communication skills throughout this drill (LO 1).
-Observe if students are performing their manipulative skills while
executing receiving and passing of the beach ball. They will also be

Fukuhara (LO 1, 2, 3, 4)
-A regular volleyball is used for this activity.

-Rotation, serving, and 3 passes will still remain the objectives,

glide fast across the floor will make them want to dive and reach
far for the ball as it passes by them.
-How to know when to rotate: when the ball goes out o bounds.
-Reinforce the concept of communication and how it is important so
that students don’t run into each other when going for the same ball.

different courts).
-They will be serving the ball and practicing their aim by trying to get
the ball to land in one of the hoops.
-They will pick up balls coming in their direction and continue to serve.
-If they hit a target they can try hitting a different target on the court.
Cool down
-Have the students sit in a circle and lead static stretches for them to
follow.
-While they are stretching, ask them what they learned today (based on
them raising their hands to answer questions).
-Review the key concepts from the lesson: communication, 3 pass rule,
rotation overview.
-Ask the students if they had fun today and thought that the new games
were fun to play.
