Lesson details
Key learning points
- Move: using the correct technique for a variety of jumps will enable us to score points in games.
- Think: understanding the correct technique for a variety of jumps increases performance in games.

Keywords
Space - an open area where it is safe to move where there are no defenders
Competing - playing against another player or another team
Rules - inform what we are allowed and what we are not allowed to do in a game or challenge
Common misconception
Pupils run instead of skipping to avoid being caught. Pupils don't follow the rules and take more than one piece of equipment at a time.
Remind pupils that running is a rule break and celebrate pupils who are hopping/skipping not running. Explain that this is a rule break and build in a consequence for this happening.
