it was introduced to the games?
(1936, then again in 1972,

Student will start at one

line of the gym and do the
exercise to the middle line
of the gym, then go back
doing a different exercise.
The black lines represent
how student will go back
and forth from one to the
other during the exercises.

personal space.

Students will be on the line

on, I will do the set
induction on this line. I am

students are facing me on
the line.

ASSESSMENT
at least one
formal or
informal
assessment
measure must
be listed for

activity/task.
Are students
doing the
exercises the
correct way?

Activity/Task Game of handball:

Student will be put into the
groups they were in last class
and I will assign each team to a
court. When I blow my whistle
the game will begin.
One team starts with their ball
on their end of the court and
must shoot at the goal on their
opponents side of the court.
Students are allowed to air
dribble to move the ball, but
they are only allowed 3 air
dribbles per person.
If the ball is dropped the
opponent gets possession of the
ball.
If the ball goes out of bounds
the team that touched it last
would then be on defense.
If the team on defense
intercepts the ball they are then
on offense.
For the first game students
must pass it at least once to a
teammate before shooting.
If the team shooting misses the
shot, the rebounded ball is fair
game. The team that picks it up
or catches it has possession
then.
After a goal is made the team
that didnt score will start with
the ball on their side of the
court.
Students must shoot from
outside the crease, also
defenders are not allowed in the
crease.
We will switch games after 6
minutes.
After the first game I will tell
students that a player that shot
the last goal cannot shoot at the
goal again until another person
on the team has shot at the

Step with
opposite foot
towards
target.
Thumbs
together
Pinkies
together
Keep your
eye on the
ball
Arm behind
your ear.

You have to pass it to

each member on your
team before you can
attempt a shot on
goal.
Everyone on your team
must touch the ball
before you can shoot.
The same person cant
shoot at the goal until
everyone else on the
team has taken a shot
at the goal.

There will be 2 games of

handball going on at a
time. The goals will be at
the end of the courts which
will be about 50 meters in
length ( the width of a
basketball court). The width
of the handball game will
be almost half of a
basketball court since we
have two games going. The
rectangles are the two
games of handball. The
triangles are the creases.

Keep your head

up so you dont
run into anyone.
If the ball is
going to the
other court yell
ball ball ball

Are students
able to score
goals by
passing to open
people and
using
teamwork?
Are students
communicating
with their
teammates?
Is everyone
being
supportive and
practicing good
sportsmanship?

goal.
After the second game I will tell
students they have to pass it to
all of their teammates at least
once before they can shoot at
the goal each possession.
After the third game I will set a
challenge for students that if
they pass it to all their
teammates before shooting at
the goal they get an extra point
each time all the players touch
the ball. To eliminate one team
just passing the ball the whole
time the limit for the amount of
points they can get on one
possession is 3 (2 points for
passing it to all the teammates
twice and 1 point for scoring).
There doesnt need to be any
contact in this game between
players. If there is the student
will be given a warning, then
have to sit out if it happens
again.

Transition I will blow my

whistle to let teams know to
freeze after 6 minutes. I will
have the teams on one end of
each court switch what courts
they are on so they are playing
a new team. After 6 more
minutes I will have the teams
that didnt play each other go to
the same court and play
another game. For the last
game teams will play the same
team they played during the
first game. When I blow my
whistle after the last game I will
tell students to leave the ball at
the court and meet around the
center circle of the gym and we
will go over the closure.

Closure: What were strategies

your team used that made you
successful during the game?
What would you do differently
with your team next time?
Having good teamwork is the
best way to be successful in a
game. Hopefully if you keep
working on teamwork and
playing handball you can help
U.S win their first Olympic
handball medal. 1 minute.
Student will be allowed to
change after this or wait for
their buses.
