Students must always remain in their quadrants when playing the game to prevent crowding of the ball

Students cannot enter the Goalie Zone when shooting or defending to prevent students from
attempting to goaltend.
Students that are not working well together will be separated and asked to participate in different groups.

rules of the game. All skills in the game will be
reviewed and demonstrated by the teacher
before gameplay starts. Students will be split
up into teams that the teacher coordinated
before class.

introduction and posted on the wall of the

gymnasium.
Checking for Understanding- I need someone
to repeat the safety rules.

7-8 min

8-44 min

Transition: Teacher will randomly select the

teams that are playing and the teams that are
sitting. Teams that are not playing will sit on
the benches and will have activity sheets to
complete while they wait.
Activity 1: Gameplay
Class will be split up into 4 teams,
with 8 students on each team
2 teams will play at a time and 2 will
fill out activity sheets while on the
bench
6 students will be playing at a time on
each team, with 2 students subbing in
every minute
One team will wear pinnies
Games will be 6 minutes
Set-Up
The play area will be split up into 3
quadrants
Whichever quadrant a student is
assigned to, they must stay within for
the entirety of the game
On each team, 3 students will be on
offense and 3 will be on defense
Students on offense are allowed to
travel to any place within their
quadrant
Students on defense cannot go passed
half court
There will be a restricted section called
the Goalie Zone that students cannot
enter
The Goalie Zone is marked off by
red lines on the floor and is about 10
feet away from the goal
Rules
Students are not allowed to leave their
quadrant if a student leaves their
quadrant, the game will be started over

Games were started

over very frequently
because students were
stepping over the
quadrant lines and into
the goalie zone.

Substitutions were
difficult. Students did
not want to be subs and
bringing subs into the
game took too much
time.

I was not very

consistent with calling
penalties. The penalty
box was seldom used.

As the teacher I need to

spend more time giving
feedback during the
games.

Students cannot enter the Goalie

Zone
Sticks must remain below waist
No physical contact allowed
If the ball goes out of bounds, teacher
will decide which team has possession

Check for Understanding- What happens if a

student leaves their quadrant? (the game is
started over)
Extension Up- Every students has to possess
the ball before shooting
Extensions Down- Remove the Goalie Zone

44-45 min

Extensions were not

used; the game was
appropriate for their
skill level.

Transition: Students will move, by team, back

to the meeting place and await closure

Closure
Teacher will review what was learned
during the lesson
Teacher will explain that we will be
45-49 min
starting a unit on wiffle ball next week
Teacher will ask questions:
What are all the skills that we practiced
during this unit? (dribbling, passing,
shooting, stealing)
What was your favorite skill? (stealing)

There was not a lot of

time for closure
because games went
longer than planned.
