After the game has been played for about 3-5 minutes, we will explain the main activity
for the day.
Students will group up into about 4 groups (based on how many decks of cards you
have). Each group will get a deck of cards and a legend to go along with it. Students will
draw a card and find the suit that matches it on the legend and do the exercise. The
number on the card represents the amount of that exercise they have to do. Ex; 4 of
clubs represents 4 sit ups. If you draw a hearts, or a spades card, the number on the card
represents how much of an exercise you do PER LEG. If you draw a joker, get your legs
ready… you’ve got 4 laps to run. Students will then be sent on their way to complete the
activity. If students finish early, they can restart the deck until everyone is done.
Closing:
If students take the entire class, that is okay. If everyone finishes up, we can have a class
discussion on how it was and why we do movement Mondays.
Deck of Card Workout
Draw a card from your deck and do the work out that matches the suit on the card. The
number on the card represents the repetitions of that exercise. Ex; 4 of clubs represents 4 sit
ups. If you draw a hearts, or a spades card, the number on the card represents how much of
an exercise you do PER LEG. If you draw a joker, get your legs ready… you’ve got 4 laps to
run. Continue this until your deck of cards is done and then come see Ms. Barnes and Mr.
Barnstable!
Lesson Focus and Goals: This lesson will focus on the basics that are needed to be
successful in playing basketball. I want students to be able to understand basic skills,
cues, and history to the sport. This will be a lesson that mainly introduces dribbling and
depending on time, some passing.
Build skills towards proficiency in four self-selected complex movement skills including one from
four of the following categories:
Indicators:
b. Implement visual and oral strategies (e.g., sketch movement patterns, verbalize performance of
skill while performing it) to support skill development for each of the four self-selected complex
movement skills.
c. Identify complex skills that are at a level of automation (i.e., can perform with control, smoothly
and without hesitation) and demonstrate the ability to perform these skills while participating in
game situations.
d. View and provide meaningful feedback on skill performance, of self and others, that could be a
focus for improvement.

Once we are gathered back in the center of the gymnasium, we will go through what
dribbling looks like and the skills necessary for it. I will show everyone a basketball and
that there are different basketballs for both female identifying basketball and male
identifying. Once students have successfully transitioned, got a ball, and are on the line, I
will ask students to place the ball on the ground in front of them. I will then introduce
how we dribble. I will ask students if anyone knows how to properly dribble and if so,
have them come to the centre of the gymnasium to demonstrate for the class. From
there, we will break down the steps and performance cues of dribbling. The performance
cues for dribbling include:
- Pads of Fingers Contact Top of Ball
- Wrist Firm Yet Flexible
- Hand Pushes Ball to Floor
- Hand Absorbs Ball Slightly on Return
- Knees Bent Slightly
- Back Straight with Slight Forward Lean
- Head Up Looking for Open Space
Successful movers will:
- Consistently be able to dribble the ball without losing control
- Be able to look up while dribbling
- Always absorb ball with arm
- Palms will always be facing downwards
- Dribble with only one hand at a time
- Contain dribble to below the knee
- Can change direction without picking up dribble or losing control
Once everyone is aware of what a dribble should look like, students will be given the
opportunity to to practice for a minute dribbling on the spot with no movement.
Students will be made aware that they need to watch for any loose balls to ensure we
are staying as safe as possible. They will be asked to use their right hand for 1 minute
and then their left hand for 1 minute. Once everyone has an understanding of that,
they will practice crossing over from one hand to the other in one place. Next, students
will be asked to walk while dribbling with their right hand to the other vertical line that
outlines the basketball court. Once they get there, they will be told to switch to their
other hand to walk back while still dribbling. Once that is successfully completed,
students will do another round of walking but will be asked to cross over after every 3
steps to the other hand. This will be continued all the way there and back. Once that is
done, students will be instructed to now try jogging while dribbling. Like we did with
walking, they will use one hand there and the other hand back. Once that is done, they
will practice crossing over while jogging after every 3 steps for both there and back.
Once students have had a chance to get a grasp at moving at a faster pace while
dribbling, They will be asked to practice while running at a faster speed. They will
partake in the movement like they did with the last two speeds and then do the
crossovers as well. This will all be completed on the vertical basketball line to the other
side of the court.
Once that activity is done, students will then get to practice dribbling around cones
from one end of the gym to another. This will be practiced with dominant and non
dominant and then eventually doing a crossover. If the ball gets away, grab it and
continue dribbling. This will be set up on the left side and right side of the court so
students can be lined up on either side. Once they complete the dribbling on the one
side of the gym, they will go to the other line they were not in.
Depending on time, we can also play keep away. This will focus on protecting a ball
while dribbling. We will first go over how to protect a ball and then get into the game.
Cones will be out to identify the playing area. Students will each have a ball and be in
the playing area. When they are directed to start, they will dribble around the playing
area protecting their ball while also trying to knock away their opponents ball. If your
ball is knocked out of play, you will go outside of the playing area and do 5 jumping
jacks before re-entering the game. Once students have a good grasp on the game, we
can play for elimination or make the playing space bigger or smaller.
Lesson Focus and Goals: This lesson will focus on the basics that are needed to be

Once we have warmed up, students will join the middle circle. Students will warm up
dribbling by playing the flip cone game. There will be two teams and students have to try
and flip their cones over while dribbling ( one team is upright cones and the other in
upside down). When they are directed to stop, the team with them most cones, wins.
Here we will make sure we all know what is happening and then get set up with the cone
dribbling drill. We will do the cone drill again without a defender and then will throw a
defender in just for pressure (light defense). Once I see some success, we will move on to
passing. Students will partner up and practice passing back and forth. Once we have
some time to practice passing back and forth and catching, we will move into a three
man weave. I will demonstrate this activity and how you follow your pass.
Once the three man weave is done, students will get taught how to do a layup. This
will include the 2 step and up form and then how to shoot so close to the net.
Closing: 5-8 Minutes
After we have finished, students will put the equipment away and gather in the
middle. We will discuss what we learned today and I will ask for 3 examples of what
we did today from students.
- When might we use a layup in a game-like scenario?
- What other skill do we practice when playing basketball? (cardio, coordination,
etc)
Lesson Focus and Goals: This lesson will focus on the basics that are needed to be

9.6 Games, Tactics, & Strategies Design and implement, collaboratively, plans to use effective
tactics and strategies (while considering rules and skills when participating in a variety of
movement activity situations) to enhance performance and enjoyment of self and others in each
of the following
b. Consider tactical and strategic options, made alone and with others, as well as appropriate
application of the rules and skills of the games, both full and lead-up (e.g., three-on-three soccer,
half- court basketball, king’s court volleyball).
c. Demonstrate a willingness to discuss with teammates and to make group decisions regarding
options for tactics and strategies to be used in game situations (e.g., play to run in touch football,
defense to use in basketball, call to make in curling, how to create distractions to support
teammates in prisoner’s base).
Students will get a chance to pick which warm up game they want to play before we get
into the lesson. This can be the cone flip game or the dribbling keep away.

Once we have warmed up, we will gather at the white board. Here, I will ask what we
know about rules in basketball. I will create a list on the board. I will use that list to guide
what I need to add and talk about. I will also draw an example of a basketball court and
explain the different lines on the floor that you can score from and how much each shot
is worth. We will also explain basic fouls as well. We won't use a shot clock but I can
explain how that would be used.
Once students have a good understanding, I will ask a few questions and have people
repeat the answers so I know everyone has a basic level of understanding.
Before we start the game, I will have everyone grab a basketball and dribble a lap around
the gymnasium and then go to a net and take 10 shots from in the key or near the key
just to get warmed up with those basic skills.
I next will create the teams and hand out pinnies. Each team will be given 2 minutes to
strategize before we start and identify how they will play the game. Everyone will play
and we will have two games going at the same time (gym split into two and we will use
side nets). Each game will be 5-8 minutes long. Once the game is over, we will change
who each team is playing and they will get a 2 minute rest and water period before the
next game starts. Before we start the game again, students will be given another 1-2
minutes to strategize what is working and what is not. This will repeat until the class is
pretty much done. These teams may only be 3-5 students based on numbers that day.
Assessment:
Students will be given a self evaluation sheet to assess how they did during this unit.
This will be summative and required from each student.
