What you’ll learn

I can successfully send and receive equipment as part of a team.

Key learning points

  • Move: accurate passes are made with suitable force and good control.
  • Think: ongoing reflection and making changes ensure team success.
  • Connect: using encouraging words when talking to your team builds confidence and self-belief.
  • Feel: considering the needs and feelings of others demonstrates empathy in a team.

Words to know

force
how hard or soft we make a pass
success
trying your best, learning new things and being confident
team
a group that plays or works together

Common mistakes

Pupils throw the ball up too high or throw overarm and then blame their partner for being unable to catch it.

Encourage underarm throwing, using gentle passes so the ball makes a rainbow shape in the air. Remind pupils that teamwork requires all individuals to work together and encouraging others.

For parents, carers and teachers
  • Ensure pupils know the difference between an underarm and an overarm pass before the lesson. Use smaller groups of 3, if pupils find the tasks challenging.
