NOT IN MY BACK YARD

Place equipment randomly on each side of the centre line of a basketball or similar court.

Use different types of equipment such as tennis balls, Frisbees, bean bags, soccer balls etc.

Divide students evenly between the two sides.

Once the whistle goes, the aim is to try and get as much of the 'junk' out of your 'backyard' and into the other team's 'backyard' (i.e. over the line).

EQUIPMENT: Any and many pieces of sports equipment as available.

AREA REQUIRED: Basketball, tennis, netball court or any sized grassed area.

CUES FOR DEBRIEF / REFLECTION

What was my strategy for speed?

What was my strategy for throwing?

Is this a team game? An individual game?

What did it feel like when you became tired?

What did you find challenging about that game?
