rules of the game
Students will cooperate with others
positively during the lesson
Students will actively engage and enjoy
participation in the lesson
Students will demonstrate agility by
moving into space away from
defenders/taggers
High-5 Tag- Include pass

2 students identified as
taggers

All other students will
move around within the
provided space trying to
avoid these taggers

If tagged, students will
stand still with their hand

and high-5 them
Variations
Increase number of
taggers and include a pass
and run with the ball to
tag

Add/remove taggers

Progression of task
Partner work
In pairs, create plays that


Freeze replay-movement
patterns of receivers
Questioning: get the attackers
