Materials/ Space Needed Home Base (Baseline, Sideline or Circle with paint or cones to mark boundary) Large rectangle boundary with half court line Smaller square boundary (basketball key or 4 square) Basketballs (1 per group of 5-7 students) Vocabulary Dribble: To move along with repeated bounces.

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.

Dribble Relay

Show How How to Play:

● You will break students up into teams of 4-6 students and have them line up behind a tall cone at one endline. Each cone should be spread out about 10+ feet. ● Give the first student in line a ball and tell them to wait until your “Go Word”. ● On the signal, the first student will dribble the ball down to the other end line with their dominant hand, turn around, and dribble back to their team.
