air with one hand and catch with the other.
Repeat process starting with other hand. Practice several land?

times gradually throwing the beanbag higher and higher.

Can children clap their hands as beanbag reaches peak
of its flight?
Ask children to get into pairs (ability groups). Place a
hoop about 5metres in front of each pair. Children play
against each other trying to get beanbag in hoop.
Keep score: 1 point each time lands in hoop.
Move hoops to a 10metre distance and play again
reminding children of weight transfer for a longer
distance throw (see Y1 Leap Into Life. MS, prog 3,
session 1).
Remove hoops and pairs throw to each other instead:
Sunshines: Both children throw beanbag up in the air
and then to their partner getting into a rhythm with
practice. Snowflakes: As sunshines but with one
beanbag per pair to start with and as confidence
increases change to two. Rainbows: Work with one
beanbag practice throwing and catching in pairs.

Form 2 KG

Set out hoops as last session. In pairs children stand 5

meters away from hoop. One child tries to get ball in
hoops while other tries to intercept it by catching it in
the hoop.
Repeat game increasing distance.
Play game using an overarm 2 handed throw like a
football pass.
Move onto overarm throw using one hand. Remind
children to move ball back beside their ear, reach out
behind and have elbow out to the side. Push ball forward
until arm extends and ball is released. (NB if children
are close together remind them to bring arm
through slowly so that the throw is not to
powerful).
As children become confident at gripping and throwing
the ball overarm, move further and further apart.
Teacher to demonstrate upper body twist to increase
power to throw.
Continue throwing and catching.
Demonstrate a chest pass (see notes in Leap into
Life Y2, MS, Prog 3 session 2).
Ask children to make a circle in groups of 6. Chest pass
ball across the circle, ensuring everyone receives and
sends the ball.
After each chest pass, child turns and runs around
outside of circle in clockwise direction returning to place.
Warm up with circle chest pass game from previous
session.
Recap one-handed overarm throw.
In pairs focus on developing upper body twist whilst
throwing beanbag. Encourage children to pull ball out
and back behind them before release.
Practice with both hands.
Reinforce the use of the opposite leg; the non-throwing
hand to aim at the target and weight transfer from back
to front.
Place 3-4 hoops in front of each pair at increasing
distances. Each hoop is worth a different amount
depending on distance. Each child has 3 throws trying to
aim throw at targets. Add up scores to see who wins.
Children struggling with overarm should be given choice
of underarm as well.
Warm up with Empty the Bucket This time child led
child chooses method from those weve learnt of how to
throw the balls/beanbags away from the bucket.
Play scatter Teacher scatters balls around the hall and
children find one and stand still where it is using
different types of throws to aim the ball at the hoop in
the centre of the hall getting it to bounce. (NB:
Children must wait to throw ball until given signal
from teacher to avoid being hit by other childrens
balls from, further away).
