What you’ll learn

I can explain the STEP principle and understand the need to adapt a task in a game situation.

Key learning points

  • Move: when adapting the tasks, accurate throwing is always important in order to be successful in different conditions.
  • Think: adapting a task correctly can ensure that everyone is appropriately challenged.
  • Think: when leading a group, it is important to ensure that all members of the team understand what they have to do.
  • Feel: when adapting tasks, it is important to listen to every team member's ideas and make sure everyone feels valued.
  • Connect: evaluating each other's leadership efforts when adapting tasks shows effective communication.

Words to know

teammates
people who work together with a shared goal, supporting each other to succeed
task
a specific action or set of actions that a team must perform to achieve a goal
adapt
to change or adjust in response to new conditions or requirements.

Common mistakes

Pupils believe when adapting a task that everyone needs the same level of challenge.

Ensure pupils understand that everyone has different levels of skill, experience and confidence, therefore adapting a task should look to meet the needs of all the pupils engaging in it.

For parents, carers and teachers
  • Allow sufficient time for pupils to discuss task adaptations and evaluate their success.
