What you’ll learn

I understand how equipment can affect the task when I am in charge of leading a game.

Key learning points

  • Move: to complete the task successfully, we need to use accurate technique and apply our skills correctly.
  • Think: adapting the equipment helps ensure that everyone in the group is challenged, motivated and can enjoy the games.
  • Feel: striving to take responsibility for our team and encouraging them when challenges are difficult shows leadership.
  • Connect: giving clear instructions in a confident, positive tone demonstrates excellent leadership and communication.

Words to know

leadership
to guide, inspire and unite our teammates towards achieving a common goal
adapt
to change or adjust in response to new conditions or requirements.
equipment
the items that we use to play games and sports safely and effectively

Common mistakes

Pupils believe that the more equipment they use in an activity, the better the activity will be.

Ensure pupils understand how to use equipment to enhance the activity. Too much equipment can make it confusing and unsafe.

For parents, carers and teachers
  • Ensure that all equipment is available and easily accessible for the session. Doing this beforehand will help keep the lesson flowing.
