This term for TGFU (teaching games for understanding) we are running it similarly to our Touch Rugby last term except our sport is Basketball.The class is split into 5 teams and each team has a coach, captain, and a manager. The coach plans their sessions and liases with the manager about the skills and drills (to begin with - ball handling). The manager is responsible for the organising and setting up of equipment while the captain is primarily in charge of team relationships and behavior.The coaches use the above books to plan their sessions and the first session was modelled by Miss F who showed the breakdown of activities and time management eg:
10 mins - warm up
5 mins - stretching
10 mins - skill focus
10 mins - skill reinforcement game
10 mins - warm down activity
The students are all working well together and cooperating as a team, it is great to watch and be a part of.
Stay tuned for more!!
This looks like a great way to learn new games & skills. It gives people a chance to learn lots of new skills - not just sports skills. Great opportunity to develop new leaders too.
ReplyDeleteWay cool! Basketball is a huge sport here in America, in fact we are in the middle of our professional level playoffs. It is really awesome that you are giving students the opportunity to try a variety of sports and activities. Well done!

ReplyDeleteTuesday:
ReplyDeletethink about ONE career you would be interested in and research it. Display all the information you can (subjects to study, salary, wages, work hours, skills needed etc) on one page of your homework book.
Wednesday:
write a free poem about your career you chose from Tuesday night – you must add: simile, metaphor, verbs, alliteration, onomatopoeia. For those who would like a challenge add some personification in there too.

ReplyDeleteI thing TGFU is a good idea it helps people get to know how to play a sport they ay ahve never have tried because they diddn't know the rules or a small reason like that.
