What you’ll learn
I can teach others a new game and understand how to make adaptations to suit the participants.
Key learning points
- Move: an accurate underarm action is required to bowl in stoolball.
- Move: changing the dimensions of the pitch or type of equipment used will alter the level of challenge.
- Think: players of different prior experience, standard and motivation will respond differently to different games.
- Feel: empowerment and creativity help when making new and exciting ways to adapt games to teach others.
- Connect: taking responsibility for teaching a game to a small group, builds communication and leadership skills.

Common mistakes
Many pupils do not consider how adaptations and conditions can make games more enjoyable for different people, preferring to play the full version of a game even when it might be a struggle.
Helping pupils to be conscious of other people's motivations and understand how adaptations can make the game more accessible and enjoyable.
For parents, carers and teachers
- While it's unlikely you'll have stoolball equipment, you can temporarily use other PE equipment. For example, a badminton/rounders post with a tennis racket taped or zip-tied to it can make a stoolball post.
