PRACTICE

1. Move onto Skills Game – Ratatat!

STORYLINE
Today we are playing Ratatat! Your goal is to pass off the dribble and make your way around the entire course. 

INSTRUCTIONS

• I will divide the class into two teams. Each team will form a single file line behind their short cone.
• The course runs in a clockwise direction.
• When I say, “GO!” begin dribbling around the course.
• Once you have reached the third dot, 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.

TEACHING TIPS

• Approach:
  • Starting with a demonstration is crucial so students know where they are dribbling to.
• Safety:
  • Dribblers should be mindful not to dribble into each other when getting to the next dot.
• 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: 
  • Why should you pass the ball to where you target will be and not where they are?
  • How could you keep yourself motivated to keep trying if passing off the dribble is a difficult skill for you to master?

Today we are playing Biscuit in the Basket. In this game, your goal is to pass off the dribble and shoot a goal before your opponent does. 

INSTRUCTIONS

• Before the game begins, the first team will stand at the midline. 
• Everyone else will form a line at the baseline or end line with their teammate.
• When I say, "GO!" the second team in line will pass a ball out to the first team at the midline.   
• Once the first team receives the ball, the game is open to a two-on-two play.
• The team to score first, stays on the court.
• The team that did not score, will go to the end of the line at the opposing base or end line.

TEACHING TIPS

• Approach:
  • This game is intended to be played on a half-field. If your class size is smaller, play with one whole group.
  • Give students the option to be in a competitive or non-competitive group.
• ELL Accommodation: 
  • Post labeled pictures of skills and game play.
