LEARNING OUTCOMES
Dribbles in self-space with a preferred hand demonstrating a mature pattern
STUDENT TARGETS
Skill: I will dribble the ball with 1 hand while walking in general space.
Cognitive: I will be able to show the teacher which hand I prefer to use when I dribble.
Fitness: I will actively participate in today’s activity to improve and help my partner improve dribbling skills.
Personal & Social Responsibility: I will share the equipment and space with my partner.
TEACHING CUES
- Dribble with Finger Pads, Waist High
- Eyes Alert, Make Quick Looks
ACTIVITY SET-UP & PROCEDURE
EQUIPMENT:
- 4 large cones
- 1 basketball per 2 students
- 1 poly spot per 2 students
SET-UP:
- Create boundaries for a large activity area with cones.
- Scatter poly spots throughout the area.
- Pair students, scattered throughout the area.
- One student on a spot and the other with a ball.
ACTIVITY PROCEDURES:
- You have done a great job practicing and improving your dribbling skills. Now it is time for a Driver’s Test!
- The partner with the ball is the driver. The partner on the spot is the driving instructor. When I say, “GO!” the drivers are going to dribble throughout the activity area, working hard not to cause a crash.
- Driving instructors will watch their drivers. On the stop signal, give the driver thumbs upgrade if the driver follows the cues we have learned in class. (See grade level progressions for specific criterion.)
- After all, drivers have received their grades, switch roles, and begin on the start signal.
