PRACTICE

1. I will divide the class into teams of two. Ro Sham Bo to decide who will start with the ball first. Spread out into the field, standing 3 – 5 feet apart from your teammate.

• Everyone must pass at the same time so listen carefully for the signal.
• When I say, "SWITCH" leave your ball and hockey stick at the cone.
• You have 10 seconds to find a different spot around the field.
• Be aware that once you pass, you must be ready to receive the next ball coming your way.
• We will make 10 passes to the right and then 10 passes to the left before starting a new game.

STORYLINE
Today we are playing Ice Age. Your goal is to make a complete forehand pass to your teammate on an iceberg (dot).

INSTRUCTIONS

• I will divide the class into six teams.
• Before the game begins, line up with your team in a single file line behind the marker cone.
• When I say, "GO!" the first person in line will go to any iceberg in the Arctic.
• The next teammate will pass the ball to the teammate on the iceberg.
• If the teammate receives the pass while on the iceberg, he/she can take the iceberg back to their line.
• If the teammate does not stop the ball while on the iceberg, he/she does not get to keep the iceberg.
• Once you have had a chance to receive a pass, return to the back of your line.
• We will begin a new game once all the icebergs have been collected.

STORYLINE
Today we are playing Frozen II. Your goal is to forehand pass and 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 ball.
• The only way to become free is if another Sven forehand passes a snowball 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.
