Friday

Today's PE lesson is taken from the William de Ferrers SSP website and mixes doing exercise with using your imagination to create a game.  follow the instructions and see what you can come up with!  Have fun!

INVENT A ‘SPORT’

• Look around your house and garden and find 5 pieces of ‘equipment’ you can use to create a new game- e.g.

• a rolled up pair of socks or a soft ball, or table tennis ball, or bean bag
• a skipping rope or a crack in your pavement
• a tennis racket or a light frying pan or your hand
• a basket, a plastic bowl, a plastic cup

Think about how you can create a new activity using those 5 pieces of ‘equipment’. Think about-

• What you could call it- make it catchy and exciting!
• How you could score it-keep the numbers 1-10 so we can add up quickly
• How could you make the game more challenging? E.g.
  • Stand further away,
  • use a different throwing technique,
  • making the target smaller,
  • using your other hand,
  • closing one eye,
  • setting yourself a time limit (pressure) and trying to achieve a number by then
  • doing it at the same time as someone else
  • doing it faster…..

For example, stand 4m away from a linen basket and aim your rolled up socks into it. Once successful 3 times, take one step backwards- can you still get 3/3? Then close one eye and try again.

• Can you draw these pieces of equipment for you and you colour them in?
• Can you video yourself and send to me?
