#1 #2 #1 Students # Line numbers Rationale: Increase heart rate and allow students to familiarise themselves with the skill of individual skipping Organisation: Class is divided into relay teams of approximately 5-6 students Teams are lined up along the baseline Students are to be seated once they have completed their turn Equipment: 25 Skipping Ropes 8 Variations/ modifications/ progressions: Students can begin skipping forwards Then running backwards Skip in pairs Key Assure Watch have arms Skipping Relay: Student are numbered off into groups of five and are designated a position on the line Each student receives a skipping rope When instructed, students skip five times on the spot then run to the opposite end of the court Once they have reached the opposite end, they return to their group The next person then repeats Once everyone has completed the relay, students are to sit in a straight line to show they are finished Diagram: Safety Considerations: Ensure surface is free of obstacles Groups are to be a safe distance apart from each other Groups are set up a safe distance from Skipping are neatly folded and placed on the ground when not been used Cues / Is hasn’t before? to hand At activity, are to ropes At the check if heart
along with increasing heart rate Students will be working individually Have students keep score of the various challenges If too easy have them skip faster bounce’ Skipping skills: Each student to their own sections of the basketball court, facing the teacher\ The teacher gradually moves through a variety of exercises which the students copy Competitions are then introduced to gauge improvement Exercises include: Skipping on the spot Skipping backwards ‘Double skipping’ ‘One Leg’ Diagram: Safety Conditions: Students need to assure they are a safe distance away from each other (approx 2m) Positioned away from walls Skipping ropes are placed at the feet of students when not in use Arena/court needs to be free of any obstacles and water Is correct Are each Is beat score? Rationale: In this game the students will need to rely on timing and team work for the activity to run efficiently Class Organisation: Assure that there are at least two groups Both groups are a safe distance from each other Students need to run in the same direction and one at a time Equipment: 3 long ropes Variations/ modifications/ progressions: This game can link into the Hen’ Key The Clock One of the rope turners is known as the ‘Chanter’, they yell out a number ranging from one to 12 o’clock. X Safety Conditions: Area between groups Space to run into How does have to
If the ‘chanter’ yells out one o’ clock, the team has to run through, one at a time and do one jump, then exit If the ‘chanter yells out three o’clock, the team has to run through, one at a time and do three jumps, then exit. Etc. Objective of the game is to go through to 12 o’clock without fail. Groups away from Students are all travelling in the same direction. the four Rationale: In this game the students will need to rely on timing and team work for the activity to run efficiently Class Organisation: Assure that there are at least two / three groups Groups are a safe distance from each other Students need to run in the same direction and one at a time Equipment: 3 long ropes Variations/ modifications/ progressions: To make the game harder. Students who are not the spinner have jump ropes also. Key Make are middle not get injure others. The Mexican Teams have to make the Mexican Feast by completing each number of jumps for ingredients. One team member is in the middle and carefully spins ropes in the middle of team. Each ingredient needs a new spinner Lettuce equals one jump. is two jumps. Safety Conditions: Area between groups Space to run into Groups away from walls Students are all travelling in the same direction. If I call how I need
Cheese is three jumps. Tomato is 4 Beans is 5 jumps Mince Meat is 6 jumps. Rationale: This is a whole class activity where all groups come together to work as a team and to monitor skill progression Class Organisation: Students need to be told where they line up at the beginning and end of the activity Rope turners rotate once a runner is hit by the rope Children sitting in a line once the game is competed Equipment: 3 x Large Ropes Additional 3 x rope for progressions Variations/ modifications/ progressions: Rope turners change from full swings to half swings Increase the number of when passing through the rope Add additional long rope Key Having time Have use a part of the Giant Snake Three large ropes are used with a total of six rope turners The ropes are lined up down the basketball court with rope turners at each end, back to back where necessary All rope turners begin at the same time Meanwhile the rest of the class is lined up with the first rope turner Students then file through the ropes one at a time until they reach the other end Safety Conditions: Students are to file through one at a time and in the same direction Rope-turners at the end must be a safe distance from walls Once the chain of runners are broken, the whole activity stops and begins again
