Why this why now
Pupils will already have developed an appreciation of some of the target and garden games that promote social connection and potential catharsis from everyday life. They will have learnt simple ways to manage their emotions but this unit enables a deeper look into psychological approaches that help find a state of flow. Pupils can take these skills, experiences and positive attitudes towards participation into life with confidence and consequently seek fun ways to lead healthy, active lives beyond school.
Prior knowledge requirements
- Pupils know that target games require fine motor skills and accuracy.
- Pupils understand the importance of decision making and problem solving to balance higher risk shots with more consistent but potentially less impactful shots.
- Pupils are able to use a shortened and controlled swing to improve their accuracy.
- Pupils show confidence to try new and different games with a focus on enjoyment and social connection over winning.
