Investigate ways to bounce with control, height, and speed. Have students play lead-up games, such as newcomb, bench ball, bucket ball. Have students work in pairs or groups to practise basic offensive and defensive skills. Have students research and write about the origin and history of a game or sport from a different culture. Have students write a news story about a real or imagined game as a journalist for radio, television, a magazine, or a newspaper.
Students working in groups create a co-operative or competitive game and teach it to others.
Have students in groups develop criteria to assess and evaluate the games. Record the responses of each group on a class chart.
