Lesson 2

Aim:

Each student as a ball and his goal is to dribble through the gym to go into a safe zone. At the beginning, a student is chosen as the octopus and the other students must avoid him. Once a student is tagged by the octopus, he can’t move, he can only do a “pivot foot”. The game is over when there is no players left.

Rules:

1 - The octopus has to tag all the students.

2 - Once the teacher use the whistle, every students must dribble to the safe zone.

3 - Once you’re tagged, you can’t move, you can only do a “pivot foot”.

Task Progression:

1 - If it’s too easy, make the boundaries smaller, if it’s too hard, make it bigger.

2 - Allow a second octopus at the beginning.

3 - Dribble with the appropriate hand when you change direction.

Aim:

In this task, students learn how to dribble in a competitive way. With the challenge, students enjoy more this part. Students learn how to dribble but also how to control their dribble to change directions easily.

Aim:

In this game, students learn how to dribble and how to move with the ball in a restricted area while they have to protect their ball. Students must dribble and move constantly, but also try to catch their opponent ball. It is a funny game and students like it.
