6. Use your legs to provide power, not your arms.

PRACTICE

  1. I will divide students into teams of two. Ro Sham Bo to decide who will go first. Spread out into the field with the ball and stand 3 – 5 feet away from each other. When I say, "GO!" bump the ball back and forth. Do not let the ball hit the ground. Count aloud each bump.

LITTLE CEASAR CHEFS

TIME
15-25 minutes

NUMBER OF STUDENTS
4-30 students per game

EQUIPMENT
1 volleyball per 4-5 students
24 fuzzy balls
1 short cone per team
Optional: 1 beach ball per 4 students

STORYLINE
Today we are playing Little Caesar Chefs. In this game, you are all chefs trying to cook a delicious pizza pie. Your goal is to bump the dough (beach ball) consecutively with a teammate while your other teammates find the ingredients (fuzzy balls).  

INSTRUCTIONS

  • I will divide the class into four teams.
  • Before the game begins, Ro Sham Bo to decide which two teammates will be the Little Caesars and toss the dough first.
  • Everyone else will find the necessary ingredients to make your pizza.
  • When I say, “GO!” the Little Caesars will toss the dough (bump the ball back and forth) as many times as possible, while the other teammates run and bring back the ingredients.  
  • If the dough falls to the ground at any point, pick it up and continue to toss.
  • We will begin a new game when every group has brought back their ingredients.
  • At the beginning of each game new Little Caesars will toss the dough.
 

Game 1: Select one color/ingredient for each team to collect (red-pepperoni, orange-orange pepper, yellow-yellow onions or extra cheese, green-spinach, blue-blue squid, purple- grapes/egg plant). Change the color/ingredient for each team every round.
Game 2: Each teammate must bring back a different color ingredient.
Game 3: Increase the number of dough and Little Caesars.
Variation: If bumping volleyballs is too difficult, have students use beach balls instead.
Exit Ticket: In partners, students bump a ball three times before they put their equipment away.

 

TEACHING TIPS

  • Approach:
    • If bumping continuously is too difficult, have students toss, bump and catch the dough.
    • Increase or decrease the amount of teams based on class size.
  • 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 ready position.
