Spacing
|
- students were instructed to find their own space in the
gym where they would not come into contact with other groups
- students were instructed to stand opposite of their partners
along 2 parallel lines
- for 3 on 3 games, the teams played games within one side
of the badminton courts using line A as a 'net'
- for 6 on 6 games, the teams played games on the badminton
courts using volleyball nets
|
Formations and Groups
|
- we placed students into pairs and then asked them to number
themselves 1 and 2
- to change partners we asked 1's to stay in their place
with the ball, and 2's to find a new partner
- for 3 on 3 games we separated them into appropriate teams
based on skill level and behavior
- for the 3 on 3 games we rotated the teams 1 court to the
left to play a new opponent
- for 6 on 6 games we lined the students up and numbered
them 1-4, assigning each number to a court
- for 6 on 6 games we rotated the teams so that each had
a chance to play all the teams
|
Behavior
|
- we were lucky and had very little behavior and discipline
problems
- we concentrated on giving positive feedback to all the
students
- we gave extra attention to students whose skill levels
were below average
|
Organizing Equipment
|
- at the start of each class we had 4 hula hoops each of
which contained 6 volleyballs and cones
- these hula hoops were spread out along one side of the
gym
- therefore the students did not all run in the same direction
when instructed to get the equipment
- at the end of each lesson we asked the students to help
us gather up the equipment and this made the clean-up process go much faster
|
Organizing for Safety
|
- having the balls in the hula hoops prevented the students
from tripping over the balls and injuring themselves
- when the students came into the gym they took their jewelry
and watches off and placed them in a designated spot on the stage
- all balls that were currently not being used were placed
back in the hula hoops
