When performing a scissors move, it is important to:

PRACTICE

1. Line up on the baseline shoulder-to-shoulder with your ball in the control position. When I say, “GO!” dribble to the mid-line, perform a scissors move and then dribble back to the baseline. When you reach the baseline, put your ball back in the control position to indicate that you are ready.
2. Repeat as many times as needed.

STORYLINE
Today we are playing World Cup. In this game, the goal is to use a scissors move to keep the ball in possession and score a goal.

INSTRUCTIONS

• I will divide the class into teams of two.
• I will choose one student to begin as the goalie.
• Before the game begins, decide with your team which country you will represent.
• When I say, “GO!” teams will begin competing against each other to score a goal.
• If the ball is kicked out-of-bounds or a goal is made, the goalie will throw the ball back into the game. 
• Take a seat on the sidelines if your team scores a goal and wait to play in the next round.
• The last two teams competing will not advance to the next round and will sit the rest of the game on the sidelines.
• The winner of the World Cup will be the last team remaining.

TEACHING TIPS

• Approach:
  • Depending on class size, create teams of three.
  • Divide teams based on athletic ability.
  • Consider enforcing a passing rule before scoring (must pass to your teammate before scoring) if not all students are participating.
• 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: 
  • Describe the steps that it takes to perform a scissors move.
  • What could you do to improve your scissors move?

OBJECTIVE
Today we are playing Scoring Run. In this game, the objective is to use a scissors move to get past the defenders and score point.

INSTRUCTIONS

• I will divide the class into teams of four. One team will begin as the defenders and all other teams will begin as scoring teams.
• Before the game begins, the defenders will start in the middle of the field.
• All the other scoring teams will line up shoulder-to-shoulder on the baseline.
• When I say, “GO!” all scoring teams will dribble to the end line while defense tries to knock the balls out-of-bounds.
• If your ball is kicked out-of-bounds, you must exit the sidelines and try again.
• Once you have made your way to the end line, try and score a goal. If you score, you receive one point and ma exit the sidelines and continue.
• Each student must keep track of their own points.
• After 3-4 minutes, teams will get together and total their points up.
• We will begin a new game when a different team is set to be the defenders.

TEACHING TIPS

• Approach:
  • If students are totally their points dishonestly, assign referees to the game.  
• 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: 
  • Describe the steps that it takes to perform a scissors move.

OBJECTIVE
Today we are playing Foxtails III. In this game, the objective is to use a scissors move to get away from your opponent before he/she pulls your foxtail (flag). 

INSTRUCTIONS

• Before the game begins, spread out onto the field with your ball and foxtail fastened properly.
• When I say, “GO!” dribble anywhere inside the boundary cones.
• If your foxtail gets pulled, you must sit down.
• If your ball gets kicked out-of-bounds, you must sit down.
• If you pull someone else’s foxtail while sitting down, you are back in the game.
• If you kick someone else’s ball out-of-bounds while sitting down, you are back in the game.
• Practice doing a scissors move to fake out your opponent.
• Remember, there are no alliances.
• We will begin a new game when there is one fox left.

  • Give students more than “one life” to remain in the game.
  • 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.
