PRACTICE

1. Move onto Skills Game – Pinball Machine.

STORYLINE
Today we are playing Pinball Machine. Your goal is to have as few soccer balls as possible in your team's rectangle by passing off the dribble at another team's rectangle.  

INSTRUCTIONS

• Before the game begins, I will divide the class into four teams.
• When I say, “GO!” kick the balls in your rectangle to the rectangle right of you.
• If you kick the ball too hard and it goes out-of-bounds, you must retrieve it.
• At the end of two minutes, we will count how many balls are left in your rectangle.
• We will begin a new round when all the balls have been counted.

TEACHING TIPS

• Approach:
  • Remind students that communicating with their classmates is very important to be successful in this game. 
  • Divide teams equally based on athletic ability.
• ELL Accommodation: 
  • Post labeled pictures of skills and game play.
  • Partner with proficient English speakers for directions/modeling and reflections.
• SpEd Accommodation: 
  • Set individual goals for physical or behavioral modifications. 
  • Allow students to demonstrate skill one-on-one with teacher.
  • Allow students extra time to master the skill.
• Reflection: 
  • What part of your foot should you use when passing the ball?
  • Why might passing the ball to a moving target be more difficult than passing to a stationary target?

INSTRUCTIONS

• Before the game begins, I will divide the class into teams of two.
• Ro Sham Bo with your teammate to decide who will start with the ball first.
• When I say, “GO!” move anywhere inside the boundary cones and start passing the ball back and forth to one another.
• You must pass the ball while moving.
• The blob will try and kick your ball out-of-bounds. 
• If your ball goes out-of-bounds, both you and your teammate become part of the blob and must link arms or hold hands.
• We will begin a new game when there is only one team left.

INSTRUCTIONS

• I will divide the class into two teams. Each team will line up on their baseline.
• At the beginning of each round, I will call out two numbers (two students from each team).

• You must pass off the dribble to your teammate before shooting on goal. Once you have made one complete pass, you can shoot on goal.
