Games 5 - Lesson 5

In the fifth lesson of a Year 2 athletics programme, students are set to consolidate their previously learned skills in a group competition setting. The lesson's objectives are to execute putting and chipping techniques correctly while working efficiently within a team to achieve a common goal. The lesson involves using equipment such as cones and a Tri-golf resource pack, and students are expected to engage in a variety of activities that test their precision and coordination in both putting and chipping. The warm-up involves dynamic group formations that prepare the body for physical activity, while the main part of the lesson revolves around a structured competition with six different activities. Each activity has a point-scoring system, encouraging students to focus on accuracy and technique.

The competition is divided into two main skill areas: putting and chipping, with three activities dedicated to each. Students are divided into groups and rotate through the activities, which include 'Zone Ball', 'Finders Keepers', and 'Dominoes' for putting, as well as 'Drive for Show', 'Grand National', and 'Go for Green' for chipping. Each activity has its own unique challenge and scoring system, with points awarded for hitting specific targets. Teachers are advised to adapt the activities to suit the class's needs and to encourage discussion among students to reflect on their performance. The lesson concludes with a cool-down session where equipment is collected and scores tallied to celebrate the achievements, including awarding points for the most successful activities and overall performance.
