PRACTICE

1. I will divide the class into teams of two. Ro Sham Bo to decide who will start with the paddle first. Line up on the baseline shoulder-to-shoulder. If you do not have the paddle first, take one giant step behind the baseline. When I say, “GO!” the first teammate will strike his/her beach ball with the paddle. After you have finished, retrieve your ball and switch roles with your teammate. 
2. Repeat as many times as needed.

STORYLINE
Today we are playing Zone Ball. Your goal is to strike the beach ball for distance to see how far it will go. 

INSTRUCTIONS

• When I say, "GO!" the hitters will strike their beach ball with their paddle, aiming for the farthest distance.
• When every hitter has hit their ball, the runners will go out and collect the balls and roll them back to the hitters.
• After five hits, hitters and runners will switch places.

TEACHING TIPS

• Approach:
  • Remind runners they cannot enter the field until every hitter has gone.
• ELL Accommodation:
  • Post labeled pictures of skills and game play.
  • Partner with proficient English speakers for directions/modeling and reflections.
