Flat frisbee

The students will be lined up facing the targets

2. Activity

The students will practice throwing back and forth with a partner.

They will try to get 5 passes in a row.

Closer to target

Bigger target

Further away from the target

Smaller target

The students will be at their mark on the floor facing the target

3. Frisbee Bocce

The students will be put into groups of 4.  They will take turns underhand throwing the Pallino (yarn ball) each round.  They will each take turns throwing the Frisbee toward the Pallino. They are trying to be the closest Frisbee at the Pallino.

Less distance

Closure - Method used for Checking for Understanding

What happens to the object if you let go too early?  What happens if you let go too late?  How did you get the Frisbee close to the Pallino?

Assessment: What will you observe or do to assess student learning, in this lesson?

I will observe the students throwing their Frisbee.  I will be looking to see that they are sideways, stepping with the foot closest to their partner and extending their arm.
