TRANSCRIPT
Handball is played in a number of formats around the world. It
works in the playground as the equipment needed is cheap and
accessible to most. The rules of the game can be simplified to
meet the needs of any student or additional rules can be added
to increase player rotation.
The benefits of participating in such an activity may include:
Turn taking and waiting in line
Developing coping skills (losing/getting out)
Communication skills (both informative and social)
Developing hand eye coordination
Developing gross motor skills
Increased peer networks

Related social activity: Handball
Lesson
Resources : Four square handball worksheet
Method:
1. Students are asked to rank the terms King, Queen, Jack and
Dunce from most important (highest) to least important (lowest)
based on their own prior knowledge. Write their answers on the
board.
2. Students are told that the game moves clockwise, starting from
the lower right. They should try to use this knowledge to label the
squares on their worksheet King, Queen, Jack and Dunce.
3. Students should complete the following cloze passage to learn
the rules of four square handball.

balloon. This activity will allow students with poor hand eye
coordination an opportunity to develop these using a larger,
slower moving object.

Resources : Balloons
Method:
1. Use the same courts (squares you wish students to use for
playing handball). This activity could be done almost anywhere
but it is more likely that becoming more familiar with the courts
will assist with generalisation.
2. Playing with modified rules (eg the ball cannot hit the gound,
only one hit per square) have students play and assist with
movement from square to square as each player progressively gets
out until all players are confident with the progression of play.

Resources : Handballs, wall
Method:
1. Using the wall as a partner students practise hitting the ball to
the wall on the full and hitting the rebounding ball before it
bounces twice.
2. Encourage students to hit high and low, to change the speed, hit
forehand and backhand and if they want to get tricky - to use their
non dominant hand

LS.9 writes short
texts for everyday purposes
Rationale:
Students will use their hands as the inspiration for a piece of art-
work.
Related social activity: Handball
Lesson
Resources : Gloves, plaster of paris, fine markers
Method:
1. Mix plaster of paris to a smooth consistency. Work in
groups of 2 to hold the glove open and pour the plaster into the
glove.
2. The plaster will take about 20 minutes to start to firm up. At
this stage it can be worked into the desired shape.
3. Students will need to work quickly as the plaster sets to
sculpt the hand
4. Once the hand has set the design ideas are limitless

Lesson
Resources : art diary, coloured pencils
Method:
1. Students trace their hand 3 times with pencil on in their art
diary, with hands overlapping and outlines of all hands showing.
2. Then, draw 4 more lines, with Rulers, from one edge across to
the opposite side, dividing the largest spaces into smaller
spaces. These lines will also go through the hand tracings.
3. Then pick 4 colours ( any type of colour scheme works here)
and colour each space from dark to light (start darker in the
angles and fade out towards centre).

Rationale:
Students will use their hands to learn a percussion piece using
drums.
Related social activity: Handball
Lesson
Resources : drums, music
Method:
1. Seat students in a circle. Introduce drumming by explaining to students
that drumming / percussion instruments are one of the simplest types of
musical instruments, they are found in all cultures and are often used to
provide the beat or rhythm.
2. Let students have some unstructured time with their instrument. If
there are not enough for each student to have their own drum then allow
enough time for all students in the group to have a free play.
3. Start the lesson. Teach students how to position their drum, how to use
their hand to find the base and the tone.
4. Copy a rhythm. The teacher will demonstrate a short rhythm (slowly)
and the students will copy it. As the group becomes familiar with the
rhythm the pace should increase. Ensure all students get to learn the piece.
5. Ask students to come up with a short rhythm for others to learn. Nomi-
nate students to demonstrate their rhythm and have the class copy.
6. To finish the lesson select a popular song and have students drum
along to the beat.
