Students will need:

• • A broom, a pool noodle, or a stick

  • Hockey "pucks" - sock balls, balled up paper, tennis balls, stuffed animals, bean bags, ...

  • Objects to make a goal - shoes, books, any kind of markers

Students grip the "hockey stick" with one hand towards the middle and one hand towards the top. Students can switch which hand is in the middle and top to see which way feels more natural. Usually the dominant hand is in the middle.

First, practice moving "pucks" from one point to another point.

Second, move "pucks" around obstacles.

Third, shoot "pucks" through a goal.

Fourth, try passing "pucks" back and fourth.
