TEACHING HINTS:

Stipulate students touch different colors of beanbags

Challenge to move over and around beanbags

Hexagon Hustle

INSTRUCTIONS:

Tape alternating segments of silence and music to signal duration of exercise. Music segments indicate moving around the hexagon while intervals of silence announce flexibility and strength development activities.

  • Hustle / 25 seconds
  • Push-Up from Knees / 30 seconds
  • Hustle / 25 seconds
  • Bend and Twist (8 counts) / 30 seconds
  • Hustle / 25 seconds
  • Jumping Jacks (4 counts) / 30 seconds

TEACHING HINTS:

Outline a large hexagon with six cones. Place signs with locomotor movements on both sides of the cones. Locomotor movements to use are Jogging, skipping, galloping, hopping, jumping, sliding, leaping, and animal movements. Sport movements such as defensive sliding, running backwards, and running and shooting jump shots can also be used. The signs identify the hustle activity students are to perform as they approach a cone.

During the hustle, faster moving students should pass on the outside of the hexagon.

Change directions at times to keep students spaced out properly.

INSTRUCTIONS:

Task Sheet practice reviewing skills

Review the following task sheet with students and discuss evaluation of their partner.

TEACHING HINTS:

Demonstrate skills and activities on task sheet.

Change partners a few times so students are not evaluated by the same person for the entire period.

Three Bounces, Three Steps, and No Contact

INSTRUCTIONS:

This game is closer to the regulation game and provides a gradual adjustment to the team handball rules. It may be wise to limit the steps when introducing the game to novices.

TEACHING HINTS:

A variation would have the three-bounce and three-second rules but with no steps allowed. Getting students used to the three-step rule is difficult.

INSTRUCTIONS:

Why are Rhythmic Aerobic Exercises valuable to you?

What muscles did you work today during the Fitness portion of class?

When did Team Handball gain popularity in the United States?

Review elements of skills practiced on Task Sheet.
