Transition: I need everyone to walk to and put their

toes on the green line
Set Induction:
-Toes on the green line
-Ask Who here likes batman? Hes pretty cool right?
What does batman do? He saves people right! What
about Robin? Who is he? He is Batmans sidekick, kinda
makes sure nothing happens to Batman right?
-Well we are going to play a game today where we are
going to have 1 Batman, and everyone is going to have
to be the Robins!

-You will be learning about teamwork today.
-What makes a good team member?
-Examples: Following directions, being kind to your
teammates, remains focused, communicates, respectful.
-Great examples! Now your goal during the game is to
use at least two of these while you play.
Presentation of New Material/Directions:
-Explain that to start, the dodge balls are lined up in the
middle, and each team is lined up on their side.
-When the game starts, everyone tries to grab a ball and
throws it at the other team. You have to take it to the back
line, before you can start throwing.
-If you are hit, then you sit down right where you are hit.
-Each team picks a batman. The batman stands in the
hula-hoop.

-When the batman is in the hula-hoop, batman is safe

from being hit with a ball. If he or she leaves the hoop,
they are fair game.
-When someone is hit by a ball and sits down, they can
get back into the game by having batman come tag them.
-The goal of the game is to either hit the teams batman
with a ball, or have all the players on the team sitting
down.
-If you catch a ball someone throws at you? They are out.
SAFETY:
-Where to throw: Cannot hit person in head, if you hit
someone in the head you have to sit down.
-Be careful of the people sitting, cant run into them.
-Tagging: Safe tagging, a slight tap on the arm.
Check for Understanding:
