Concept:  Put all skills learned so far together.

Skill: Throwing, hand-eye coordination, aiming.

Objective: Students will be able to put together all skills to compete in bocce.

Lesson activity: (materials needed: 5 courts (set up on football field), bocce balls (or rubber balls), and pallino ball, stackers)

Instant Activity:  Equipment fun & forming groups

Students will be put onto eight teams already selected by teacher and play a tournament with no winners.  They will have a chance to play all of the teams.  Here is the schedule:

Games:
   1                   2                     3                      4                  5
1 v 2              1 v 3               1 v 4                1 v 5             1 v 6
3 v 4              2 v 5               2 v 6                2 v 4             2 v 3
5 v 6              4 v 6               3 v 5                3 v 6             4 v 5

Each team will play each other for five minutes with a minute in-between each game to switch.  The average time this class goes is 50 minutes. This is taking out time to change and do a warm-up.  Each group will have a(n) task card(s) with the set of courtesies and rules next to them to help them work out any problems and if they cannot them they can come to me to make a final judgment.
