What you’ll learn
I can run as part of a team whilst using an effective running technique.
Key learning points
- Move: running fast requires acceleration while using the correct technique; which can be done as part of a team.
- Think: an understanding of the correct technique for running will benefit the team's performance.
- Connect: congratulating and supporting our teammates will develop effective teamwork.
- Feel: self belief enables us to keep trying even when we aren't winning.
Words to know
- team
- a group of people who work together to achieve a common goal
- race
- a competition to see who is able to run a certain distance in the shortest time
- relay
- a race in which each runner completes part of the race
Common mistakes
Pupils focus on wanting to go first in their team as opposed to their running technique. Pupils think success is all about winning.
Give each pupil a number and rotate who goes first to avoid the distraction. Challenge pupils to improve their own team's time instead of racing others to reinforce the point.
Read the teaching transcript
Running successfully in a team means you have to work together to complete the race as quickly as possible. Accelerate and run fast using the correct technique and show self-belief by trying your hardest. And don't forget to support others in your team.
For parents, carers and teachers
- If you don't have batons you can use beanbags instead. Rotate the teams pupils work in to develop social skills and ensure teams are mixed.
