Games 5 - Unit Overview

The Striver Lesson Plans for Year 2 Games 5 provide a comprehensive overview for teaching the fundamentals of tri-golf to pupils. The unit is designed to impart basic skills such as controlling the distance and direction when striking and chipping a ball. The course culminates with a group competition, allowing pupils to apply their newly acquired skills in a practical setting. Prior to this unit, pupils should have some experience with striking and fielding activities, such as tennis or cricket, and be familiar with underarm and overarm throwing.

Teachers are encouraged to check school resources in advance and to be mindful of lesson timings, which are based on one-hour sessions, inclusive of time for pupils to change. To ensure smooth transitions and effective learning, pupils are organised into groups, which are maintained throughout the lesson. Specific teaching tips suggest setting up activities before the lesson starts, particularly for lessons 5 and 6, to maximise engagement. Resources, including scoresheets and setup guides, are provided to assist with these lessons. The unit's medium-term plan outlines specific learning objectives and success criteria for each lesson, focusing on skills such as correct golf club handling, ball control, chipping, and putting, all while promoting safe and honest conduct during play.
