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.

INSTRUCTIONS

• Before the game begins, line up behind a marker cone around the field with your hockey stick and ball.
• When I say, "GO!" forehand pass to the person to the right of you.
• 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.

TEACHING TIPS

  • Include practice rounds before starting the game.
• ELL Accommodation: 
  • Post labeled pictures of skills and game play.

  • Allow students to demonstrate skill one-on-one with teacher.
  • Allow students extra time to master the skill.

  • During a forehand pass, where should you step when you push the ball forward?
  • Who could help you practice your forehand pass?

STORYLINE
Today we are playing Ice Age. Your goal is to make a complete forehand pass to your teammate that is standing 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 forehand 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.

• The course runs in a clockwise direction.
• When I say, “GO!” begin dribbling around the course.
• Once you have reached the third dot, forehand pass the ball to your first teammate in line.
• After you have passed the ball, give the hockey stick to the next teammate in line and return to the back of the line.
• When you hear, “Ratatat!” you must reverse the direction you are currently going in.
• We will begin a new game once everyone has had a chance to go around the entire course.
