The children will re-visit the game they played in the first lesson. With the skills they have developed through the unit they should be able to play the game more successfully. The lesson is an opportunity for the children to assess themselves and consider how they have developed through the unit. They should be encouraged to assess their own performance, indentifying their strengths and skills they need to work on. It also provides you with a final opportunity to make judgments on the children's ability so you can complete your assessment for the unit. Page 1 of 5

Game Key Skills Game - Year 1 Duration : 20-25 The aim of the game is to score points by sliding a beanbag or rolling a ball over your opponent's line. The game is played one against one, or two against two Set up an area for each pair to play in using four cones The children must stand outside the area and slide the beanbag/roll the ball across the area When a child has the beanbag/ball they are attacking and must try and slide/roll the ball past their opponent When a child does not have the beanbag/ball they are defending and must try to stop it getting past them by moving to intercept it Each time they manage to get the beanbag/ball past their opponent they score 1 point Adaptations and variations Move the lines further apart as they get better at playing the game Use small equipment to make the game harder, or large equipment to make it easier Use hockey sticks to hit the ball - make the game hockey specific What skills do you need to use? Ask the children to think about this as they play the game Experiment with different ideas and skills you have practised throughout the unit Ask the children if they can remember the rules of the game from last time they played it Observe children whilst playing the game - are they able to play it successfully? Have the children improved since they last played the game? Are they more successful Provide advice and guidance if necessary SAFETY POINT: Use the hockey sticks safely and sensibly Explain the rules and how the game works then let the children explore the game for themselves Encourage the children to think about the tactics they have learnt throughout the unit Let the children have a go at the game Warm Down Circle Stretch Duration : 2-5 Split the class into groups of 6 Give each group a ball and ask them to form a small circle Each child should stand with their feet shoulder width apart and reach down so their hands hang near the ground The ball is then passed around the group - children should roll it around the circle Ask the children to roll the ball around the circle 3 times in one direction and then 3 times in the opposite direction Encourage children to keep their legs straight Gradually decrease intensity Page 4 of 5
Plenary What did you do well today? Encourage the children to think about their performance in the lesson Plenary What skills do you need to play the game successfully? Encourage the children to think about the skills they have used and the skills they feel were successful within the game Evaluation How have the children developed through the unit? - The children made very good progress, they played the key skills game successfully during the lesson - Next time you return to invasion games progress the children and start looking at the year 2 unit of work - The children understood and made a fair attempt to play the key skills game - Next time you return to invasion games focus on and refine the skills in the year 1 unit of work - The children struggled to play the key skills game - Next time you return to invasion games focus on the very basic skills from the unit so the children can develop these and learn to play the game successfully Page 5 of 5
