Introduction
Begin class with a warm up procedure: ● Prepare students with daily expectations before entering the gym OR on Home Base. ● Warm up procedure may include several laps around the gym, stretching routine, or another quick, movement based activity. ● Back at Home Base, review rules/expectations of the school and
PE/Playworks with explicit examples when appropriate. ● Review any other specific reminders needed for the day.
Before releasing students for the first game, use a Sequence Touch to get them to the location you need them to be for the first activity.
Partner Practice
Show How How to Play:
● Students will get into pairs, facing each other, to throw a frisbee back and forth to each other. ● To help with safety, students should have some space between themselves and the other pairs. ● Challenge them to see how many times they can throw and catch it in a row, encouraging accuracy and safety. Review proper frisbee throwing technique: ● Have students point their frisbee at their partner, holding it with their thumb rotated on top. ● Bring the frisbee back across their waist (like buckling up in the car) ● Smooth motion back towards their partner, keeping the frisbee flat, like a “plate of food” and release as they get it back to that “point”
