Lesson Plan - Throwing/Handball
CONTEXT
Grade(s): 5/6 Class
Subject(s): Physical Education
Long-Term / Big - Proper throwing mechanics
Picture Sequencing - Understanding of how to throw a ball at a target
and Scaffolding: - Understanding and playing of Handball
GOALS
Curricular Gr. 5: Students demonstrate and adapt various movement patterns to
Expectations: enhance skill development (Patterns are sequences of movements.
Movement can occur in two-part sequences, such as
● run and catch
● run and throw
Movement can occur in three-part sequences, such as
● run, turn, and catch
● walk, turn, and throw)
Gr. 6: Students adapt and apply movement patterns in controlled and
dynamic physical activities (Dynamic physical activities require immediate
decision making and refinement of movement skills)
Implicit Learning: - How to work as a team
- How to throw different materials/objects differently
MATERIALS & RESOURCES
1. Catch with a Partner
- Dodgeballs
2. Passing warm-up game
- Dodgeballs
3. Handball
- Nets
- Pinnies
- Dodgeball
OVERALL INSTRUCTIONAL STRATEGIES & LEARNING ACTIVITIES
1. Catch with a Partner
- Students find a partner and play catch using proper throwing mechanics
- Use the lines on the floor to indicate how far apart to be
2. Passing Warm-up Game
- Students get into pairs
- Each pair of students has to pass to each other while running down the
court
- The student with the ball must not move until they have thrown the ball (just
like Handball rules)
- If the ball is dropped, they have to restart
- The drill should be fast pace and quick (students start right after the other

3. Handball
- Objective: score on the other teams net
- Students are broken up into 2 teams
- Students can not walk/run with the ball in their hands (use passing to other
teammates to make it to the offensive end)
- If the ball touches the ground, it is the other teams procession
- Only one goalie inside the net at all times

ASSESSMENT(S)
Formative - observation
- Students are able to throw objects at a target with proper mechanics
- Students can follow rules and play games as a team
Reflection:
- Students participated and performed the warm-up and mini games very well
- Students are developing catching and throwing skills and are becoming more skilled
- Students are still trying to figure out the strategy behind handball and how to play
offense and defence at the same time (more practice and they will understand it
better)
