Hi there.

Welcome to your next remote learning lesson as part of the Games Making unit.

Today's lesson is called Games: Can You Dribble a Ball With Your Hands and Your Feet?

My name's Ms. Hacking, and I'm looking forward to being your teacher today.

So for this lesson, you are going to need some equipment.

So you're going to need a ball that bounces, a timer, two pieces of string or something alternate to make a narrow channel, and your optional own equipment to make your own target game.

So you might want to pause the video now to go and get the equipment you need for today's lesson.

By the end of today's lesson, I'm hoping that we can all dribble a ball with your hands and your feet with control.

And our keywords today, our first word, kinaesthesis, this is the body's awareness of movement and position.

Our second keyword is dribbling, which means moving with the ball while keeping it close and under control with your hands or feet.

And our final keyword today is coordination, now this is a component of fitness and it means using different body parts at the same time smoothly and with control.

So before we start today's lesson, it's important that we complete a warmup.

So for our warmup, I want you to show what you know about dribbling accurately.

So using your hands, dribble the ball on the spot as many times as you can with your right hand without losing control.

Repeat then with your left hand.

And repeat again, but now dribble the ball while moving and without hitting anything within your space.

Challenge yourself to beat your best score and try to dribble for the full minute without losing control.

Now, there is a video showing next of how to complete the warmup.

So you might want to watch a video, then pause and have a go at practicing your warmup so your body is ready for today's lesson.

So our lesson today is split into two parts.

In the first part of today's lesson, you're going to be creating your own hand dribbling challenge, and in the second part of today's lesson, you're going to be creating your own foot dribbling challenge.

So let's get started.

So today at home, Sam is working on dribbling using her hands.

Dribbling is a skill of controlling and moving a ball using your hands or feet while staying in possession of it.

And in order to dribble successfully with her hands, Sam needs to use hand-eye coordination.

So this is where her hands and her eyes work together, so the two body parts are working together to make sure she's really controlled and coordinated with her dribbling movement.

So to accurately dribble a ball with your hands, you need to use your fingertips to push the ball downwards, not the palm of your hand, your fingertips.

Keep the ball close to your body, so don't let it go too far away from your body, you want it to be under control.

Push the ball with controlled, even force.

So if you're pushing with too much force or too much power, the ball's gonna bounce up really high and it's gonna be really hard to control.

But equally, if you bounce the ball or dribble the ball with not enough power, it's going to go really low and it's again going to be hard to control.

And keep your head up to maintain awareness of the space and others.

So particularly if you're working in a space where there are other things about, you need to make sure your head is up so you're not likely to crash into anything or cause any damage to yourself or to something else.

Okay, quick check then, show me accurate dribbling with your hands.

So I am hoping that your dribbling looked like this using the teaching points that we spoke about earlier.

So using your fingertips, keeping the ball close to your body, using a nice controlled force and keeping your head up to maintain awareness of the space and others around you.

So well done if you did that.

So Sam sets up an obstacle course to dribble around.

She makes a narrow lane using pieces of string.

She then uses chairs as markers to dribble around.

Then she collects a cushion and tries to hold it without losing control, dribbling the ball as she makes her way back down the course.

So she continues until she has collected all three cushions.

So she's basically set up herself an obstacle course to dribble around.

It looks pretty fun.

Sam then repeats the obstacle course, but this time she tries dribbling with her other hand.

So I'm right-handed and I prefer to dribble with my right hand, I'm definitely stronger with my right hand, but it would be more of a challenge for me to try it with my left hand, especially to keep it under control.

Sam said that, "I didn't think I was very good at dribbling with my non-dominant hand.

However, the more I practiced, the more confident I became.

" I guess it's like anything, the more you practice something, the better you get, so it's worth having a go with your non-dominant hand too.

So being in control when dribbling means a ball will stay close to you and you'll not bump into anything.

So Sam said that, "I use kinaesthetic awareness to maintain ball control by scanning the space around me to avoid bumping into anything.

" So that's really important that you're using your kinesthetic awareness to make sure that you are not going to crash or damage anything.

Okay, let's have a quick go at a check.

How can you maintain control when dribbling?

Would it be A, to move quickly?

Would it be B, to look up and scan the space?

Would it be C, to use the other hand?

Or would it be D, to use a palm of your hand?

What do you think?

Well done if you said B, look up and scan the space to make sure that you are not going to crash into anything and that you can maintain the control when you're dribbling.

Okay, now it's your turn for Task A.

So for Task A, you're going to create your own game or challenge that involves dribbling a ball with your hands.

You should plan how the game will work, including how players will score points.

Make sure the area you are using is safe with plenty of space to move in and that there are no objects nearby that could be broken or cause harm.

So this gives you some autonomy to be as creative as you like to make your game as fun as you want it to be, but it must include dribbling with your hands.

There is a video showing next of an example.

However, I think you can come up with your own creative way to make a hand dribbling challenge more fun.

Okay, let's reflect on Task A then.

So move: controlling the ball in your hand is done by using the fingertips to cushion the ball.

And Sam said that, "I use my fingertips to push the ball downwards.

" And I hope you did too because that's the correct part of your hand that you should be dribbling with.

Think: looking up helps you to develop kinaesthetic awareness to maintain ball control while scanning the environment.

And Sam said that, "I used kinaesthetic awareness by keeping my head up to make sure I did not crash into any furniture and I moved easily around the obstacles," and I hope you did too.

And feel: confidence is built by repeating different movements with the ball.

And Sam said, "At first, my dribbling wasn't very controlled, but the more I practiced, the better it got, which gave me confidence to dribble the ball.

" So I hope that you had a few goes at your challenge and you practiced to develop your confidence when dribbling with your hands.

Okay, now it's time for the second part of today's lesson where we're going to be creating our own foot dribbling challenge.

So Laura is working on dribbling a ball under control using her feet.

She wants to be able to stop, start, turn, and move with the ball without losing control.

In order to be able to dribble successfully with her feet, Laura needs to use foot-eye coordination, so where her feet and her eyes work together.

So to accurately dribble the ball with your feet, you use small, controlled touches with the inside and outside of your foot.

Keep the ball close to your feet so you can keep it under control.

Keep your head up to stay aware of space and others.

Again, depending where you're doing this, you might need to be aware of your surroundings around you.

And adjust the strength of each touch to keep control of the ball.

So again, we are not using too much power because otherwise the ball will get away from us and we won't be in control.

Okay, quick check then.

Show me dribbling the ball with your feet under control.

So I hope that your controlled dribbling looks a bit like the video on the screen, and that you use small, controlled touches with the inside and outside of your foot, you kept the ball close to your feet and under control, your head was up and you were aware of your surroundings, and you adjusted the strength of each touch to make sure it was controlled.

So well done if you're dribbling the ball with your feet looked like that on the video.

So Laura moves around the space in one direction.

Every time she reaches the end of the space, she uses a Cruyff turn to control the ball and move in another direction.

So to perform a Cruyff turn, you need to dribble the ball forwards under control, move one foot ahead of the ball, allowing the space for you to push the ball backwards behind your other.

Roll the ball backwards or slightly across your body, and turn your body and push the ball away with the inside or outside of the opposite foot, as demonstrated on the video.

So Laura sets a timer for one minute.

Every time the timer goes off, she stops the ball using her feet and restarts dribbling with the other foot.

So she's dribbling around the space and then when the timer goes off, she stops the ball using her feet and restarts dribbling with the other foot.

Laura invites her sister to play.

They both start on 100 points.

Every time they lose control of the ball when dribbling, they lose a point.

Laura and her sister keeps score accurately and fairly.

Laura said that, "Playing fairly and by all the rules helps everyone enjoy the game and shows respect.

" And that's true, because if one of them cheated, it wouldn't be much fun of a game, so they were really honest and every time they lost control they took a point off their score.

Okay, let's have a quick go at a check.

How can you play fairly?

Would it be A, to take extra turns?

Would it be B, to keep score accurately?

Or would it be C, to add extra points to your score so you win?

What do you think?

Well done if you said to play fairly, you could keep the score accurately.

So not cheating, not taking points off unnecessarily, and not adding points on to your score, so making sure you're keeping score accurately.

Okay, now it's your turn for the second task of today's lesson.

So in this task, I'd like you to create your own game or challenge that involves dribbling with your feet.

You should plan how the game will work, including how players will score points.

You need to make sure the area you are using is safe with plenty of space and that there are no objects nearby that could be broken or cause harm.

So again, you can be as creative as you want to make a game that is fun but is dribbling with your feet.

There is an example showing next if you're a bit unsure of what to do.

However, I think you can make your game really fun.

Okay, let's reflect on Task B then.

Move: controlling the ball at the feet is done by using small taps with the inside and outside of your foot.

And Sam said that, "I used the inside and outside of my feet to keep control," and I hope you did too when you were dribbling the ball around the space.

Think: looking up helps you to develop kinaesthetic awareness to maintain ball control whilst scanning the environment.

And Sam said that, "I used kinaesthetic awareness by keeping my head up to make sure I did not bump into anything and I moved easily around the obstacles," and I hope you did too, that you didn't crash into anything in your game.

Feel: confidence is built by repeating different movements with the ball.

And Sam said that, "I repeated dribbling with different feet and also turns to build my confidence controlling the ball.

" And maybe you had a bit of a practice before you played your game at dribbling and turning and stopping with the ball so that you were really in control when it came to your game or activity.

And finally connect: playing fairly and by all the rules helps everyone enjoy the game and shows respect.

And Sam said that, "I played fairly and followed all the rules of my game correctly so that I could enjoy the game.

" And I hope you did too, I hope you made your rules for your game and that you stuck to them with honesty and fairness so you were able to play the game effectively.

Okay, before we finish today's lesson, we do need to complete a cool down.

So for our cool down, you're going to start at one side of the room.

Using your hands, you're gonna dribble the ball to the other side without bumping into anything.

Place the ball on the floor and dribble back to your starting position using your feet.

Repeat this three times.

And whilst you're moving slowly within the space, think about how you were successful when using an accurate dribble.

Which actions were more controlled?

And what could you do between now and the next lesson to practice your skills further?

You might want to pause the video now so that you've got an opportunity to complete your cool down.

And finally, let's summarize today's key learning points.

Move: controlling the ball in your hand is done by using the fingertips to cushion the ball.

And controlling the ball at the feet is done by using small taps with the inside and outside of your foot.

Think: looking up helps you to develop kinaesthetic awareness to maintain ball control whilst scanning the environment.

Feel: confidence is built by repeating different movements with the ball.

And connect: playing fairly and by all the rules helps everyone enjoy the game and shows respect.

And I hope that you followed the rules of both your games today and you enjoyed creating your own dribbling games or activities.

I've really enjoyed being your teacher today, and I hope you've had a fun lesson.

I'll look forward to seeing you again soon.
