Hockey Unit | Level 3

TECHNIQUE
Today we are going to learn how to dribble with your head up.

VOCABULARY
Dribble: to advance a ball or puck by giving it a series of short pushes.

When dribbling with your head up, it is important to:

PRACTICE

1. I will divide the class into two groups. One group will start on the baseline and the other group will start on the end line. When I say, "GO!" dribble your ball while walking to the midline. Keep your head up and be aware of others around you. When you reach the midline, turn around and dribble back to where you started. When you reach the baseline or end line, sit down so I know that you are done.
2. Repeat as many times as needed.

STORYLINE
Today we are playing Hungry, Hungry Hippos. In this game, you are all hippos in the jungle getting very hungry for feeding time. Your goal is to dribble with your head up and get as much seaweed (Wiffle Balls) as possible into your den. 

INSTRUCTIONS

• Before the game begins, start in the den on the baseline with your hockey stick.
• When I say, “GO!” run towards the hula-hoop, grab one piece of seaweed and dribble it to a den.
• You may only take one piece of seaweed at a time.
• We will begin a new game when the hippos have eaten all the seaweed.

TEACHING TIPS

• Approach:
  • Remind students to keep their heads up while dribbling to avoid bumping into others.
• ELL Accommodation: 
  • Post labeled pictures of skills and game play.
  • Partner with proficient English speakers for directions/modeling and reflections.
• SpEd Accommodation: 
  • Set individual goals for physical or behavioral modifications. 
  • Allow students to demonstrate skill one-on-one with teacher.
  • Allow students extra time to master the skill.
• Reflection: 
  • Should you use one side or both sides of your stick when dribbling?
  • I did my best a dribbling by...

STORYLINE
Today we are playing Landing Zone. Your goal is to dribble with your head up and land your airplane (Wiffle Ball) safely in the end zone.  

INSTRUCTIONS

• Before the game begins, line up shoulder-to-shoulder on the baseline with your hockey stick and airplane.
• I will begin as the air traffic controller.
• When I say, "GO!" the air traffic controller will hold up two orange cones, which will signal where to land your airplane.
  • Cones pointing left (move left)
  • Cones pointing right (move right)
  • Cones pointing forward (move forward)
  • Cones pointing backward (move backward)
  • Cones making a circle (spin in a circle with your ball)
  • One cone (try dribbling with one hand)
  • Cones going up and down (turbulence - jump with your hockey stick up and down)
  • Cones stopped (pause)
• We will begin a new game once all airplanes have safely reached the end zone.

STORYLINE
Today we are playing Frozen. Your goal is to dribble with your head up to avoid being tagged by Elsa/Olaf.   

INSTRUCTIONS

• I will select one tagger as Elsa/Olaf – wearing a blue flag to tell who he/she is.
• Everyone else will be Sven (the reindeer) and must spread out onto the field with their hockey stick and snowball (ball).
• When I say, "GO!" Elsa/Olaf will try and tag as many people as he/she can.
• If you get tagged, you must stand in a straddle position with your hockey stick and snowball.
• The only way to become free, is if another Sven dribbles a snowball (ball) through your tunnel.
• We will begin a new game when I select a new Elsa/Olaf.

TEACHING TIPS

• Approach:
  • If tagging is too easy, have Elsa/Olaf only move by hopping, bear crawling, duck walking, etc.
• ELL Accommodation: 
  • Post labeled pictures of skills and game play.
  • Partner with proficient English speakers for directions/modeling and reflections.
• SpEd Accommodation: 
  • Set individual goals for physical or behavioral modifications.
