Games 5 - Lesson 4

In the fourth lesson of the Year 2 Games series, the objective is to teach pupils how to control the distance and height of a ball using a chipper in the context of Tri-golf. The success criteria for this lesson include the ability of the pupils to aim their ball with precision, judge the necessary power for chipping the ball, and to cooperate effectively within a group while scoring points fairly. Key vocabulary terms such as 'Tri-golf', 'chipping', 'putting', 'flight', 'distance', 'scoring', 'accuracy', and 'control' are introduced to enhance the pupils' understanding of the game. The required equipment for the lesson includes cones, a Tri-golf resource pack, and hoops.

The lesson is structured into a warm-up, main activity, and cool-down session. During the warm-up, pupils are divided into groups of three and rotate roles between putter, hoop holder, and collector, practising putting and chipping through a hoop. The main activity is a chipping circuit where pupils are split into six groups and rotate through three different chipping challenges, including 'The Wall', 'Zones', and 'Chip & Putt'. Each activity is designed to improve their chipping skills and teamwork, with points awarded for successful attempts. The lesson concludes with a cool-down where pupils complete their scoresheets, discuss their performance, and reflect on their learning experience with guided questions. The lesson aims to not only develop golf skills but also to foster enjoyment of the sport among the pupils.
