State Standard: 1, 3, & 4 |
|
| Equipment: 1 hockey stick per player, 20+ hockey pucks/yarn balls, & 16 cones (to mark goals in the corners of the gym). | Grade: 3-6 |
| Purpose of Event: Striking with a long-handled implement/hockey lead-up skills |
|
| Time: 18-25 minutes | |
Organization: Divide the students into 4 equal teams. Put them in the four corners of the gym. I usually color-coordinate the goals with the player’s team color. Description: Divide the class into four or more groups. Each group starts with five pucks/yarn balls by their goal. On the signal, all players run to another team’s goal, take a puck/yarnball, and stick handle It back to their own goal. There is NO defense in this game. At the end of the game, teams score one point for each puck/yarnballs in their goal. Variations: Try dispersing rather than collecting pucks. Try using a defensive player from each team. |

Concerns: Be safe while using the hockey sticks. Especially when the students are moving. Make sure students are not raising the hockey sticks above their heads. The blade must be on the floor unless they attempt to strike a puck/yarn ball. |
