Words to know

Common mistakes
Pupils forget the importance of clear instructions and get side tracked in just wanting to win or complete the task.
Remind pupils that using a calm voice and giving clear instructions will develop better trust and confidence in a partner, ultimately leading to success.
For parents, carers and teachers
- Be organised. Ask some pupils to help you arrange the challenge cards around your playing area before the lesson.
