Jumping in a game
Lesson details
Learning outcome
I can use and apply all my jumping skills in different games.
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.
- Feel: striving to improve our technique for jumping, hopping and skipping will lead to success in games.
- Connect: collaborating in teams and showing empathy can improve our team's performance.
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.
Teacher tip
Split the class into smaller groups to play the game. Increase the complexity of the game in stages to suit the needs of all pupils.

bibs, 30+ bean bags all colours, 30+ cones all colours and 1 red, 1 blue, 1 green and 1 yellow hoop

We use learning cycles to break down learning into key concepts or ideas linked to the learning outcome. Each learning cycle features explanations with checks for understanding and practice tasks with feedback. All of this is found in our slide decks, ready for you to download and edit. The practice tasks are also available as printable worksheets and some lessons have additional materials with extra material you might need for teaching the lesson.
