Game/Task: Box Game with ball Conditions: toss must be above shoulder hieght after playing the ball you must move outside of the playing area before moving back in ball must bounce once inside of the playing area	Diagram: (a) (b)
Organizational Points:  students are in groups of 2 or 3 one retrieves four cones and a ball, the other locates a playing area cones and balls are set out prior to instruction and spaced apart balls are contained	Teaching Points:  Ø locate the open space in the playing area Ø anticipate opponents “play” to that area
Modifications / Refinements / Progressions: students are able to change the dimensions of the playing area if it is too easy then make the playing area larger too difficult - decrease the playing area - allow the students to remain in the box Find the appropriate dimensions that will challenge the students and provide success at the same time. groups of three will alternate in numerical order (occasionally switch up the order)
