Gym class drills for technique games
- Moving with standstill on signal. (statue game)
- The students move freely, but have to stand still on the agreed signal.
- (move after signal = 2 turns)
- The teacher can also give a movement assignment. (simple)
- Movement through "winding roads". (Constructing with cones, mats, ribbons,...)
- Beforehand, a movement track is marked out by the teacher with material; start by exploring the track (follow each other),
- Then various movement assignments are given:
- who can do it while walking calmly, while hopping, ...
- If necessary, additional tasks are built in: jumping over the mat, bending under an elastic band,...
- 1st one goes to the other side, 2nd one follows after x number of steps,...
- Start simply by having the first student walk to the other side around a cone (indicate the rhythm), followed by the second student at x number of steps.
- Do the same, students are lined up in e.g. 5 rows, each time walking in pairs.
- Only then switch to per 3, per 4, etc. Finally the whole group in a row.
- In twos, threes... Behind each other, next to each other.
- Start with e.g. 2 lln: the distance between the second and the first may be maximum 1,5 m.; then all.
- Idem, students walk next to each other.
- Go, walk, skip, hop, with simple commands:
- walk with small steps, with big steps, walk slowly, walk fast, walk straight, zigzag, lift your knees, lift your heels, touch your toes, touch your heels,...
- Make sure the students are free again;
- Make sure the students are free again; stress that when moving fast or with a change of direction, they have to watch carefully to avoid collisions.
- Moving like animals: the teacher magician (free) a bird, a horse, a frog, a snake, a butterfly, a duck.
- Then, e.g. in the width of the room, with each time crossing in a specified manner.
- Go, walk, skip, hop: normal, slow, fast, with small movements, with big steps, etc.
- Make sure all students are free; give as a basic command: go in such a way that you don't touch anyone else.
- Give a sound accompaniment by e.g. clapping of hands, tambourine,...
- Change the rhythm to slow, normal, fast.
- Do the same with walking, hopping, skipping.
- The teacher makes a square of benches in the middle of the playing field and puts all the balls in it.
- The teacher chooses two students who will stand in the square.
- The other students are spread over the playing field.
- The assignment is simple.
- The throwers must throw all balls out of the square, the bringers must throw all balls back into the square.
- Each round takes 2 to 5 minutes. This is for the teacher to decide.
- If at the final signal there are more balls in the square than in the field the bringers win.
- If there are more balls in the field than in the square then the throwers win.
- The teacher will make sure everyone has a place on the parachute (most parachutes have loops on the outside to hold it).
- Before you start it is important that the parachute is tight.
- So have some of the students walk backwards until everyone is in the right position.
- It is easiest if the teacher gives the rhythm, later you can let the children do it themselves.
- The teacher chooses two students who have to lay down on the ground under the parachute.
- The remaining students raise and lower the parachute simultaneously.
- Every time the parachute goes from high to low, the two students on the ground get a gust of wind and an imprint is left on the parachute when it hits the ground.
- The children always love this!
- After a few times you can change the students.
- The teacher will make sure everyone has a place on the parachute (most parachutes have loops on the outside to hold it).
- Before you start it is important that the parachute is tight.
- So have some of the students walk backwards until everyone is in the right position.
- It is easiest if the teacher gives the rhythm, later you can let the children do it themselves.
- The parachute goes up and down 5 times.
- At the 6th time up everyone dives in under the parachute and holds it on the ground.
- If everyone does this simultaneously, a tent will be formed.
- After a few seconds the teacher gives a signal and everyone gets out of the tent and starts all over again.
- The teacher will make sure everyone has a place on the parachute (most parachutes have loops on the outside to hold it).
- Before you start it is important that the parachute is tight.
- So have some of the students walk backwards until everyone is in the right position.
- It is easiest if the teacher gives the rhythm, later you can let the children do it themselves.
- The teacher chooses two students who have to swap places when the parachute goes up.
- The parachute goes up and down 3 times.
- At the 4th time the parachute goes up, the two students who were chosen, swap places.
- When they have taken their new place the teacher chooses two new students and it starts all over again.
- The teacher will make sure everyone has a place on the parachute (most parachutes have loops on the outside to hold it).
- Before you start it is important that the parachute is tight.
- So have some of the students walk backwards until everyone is in the right position.
- The teacher puts a ball on the parachute.
- The students have to work together to get the ball through the hole in the middle of the parachute.
