During this lesson you will:
be focused on participation and adaptation of target games.
Target games are those in which players send an object (such as a ball or dart) towards a target area. Sometimes this may also involve avoiding obstacles, defending, guarding, or blocking the path of the opposition’s ball to stop them from scoring.
The aim of most target games is to place a projectile near or in a target in order to have the best possible score, e.g. golf, boules, lawn bowls.
Target games come in two forms. Opposed target games are ones, such as snooker or bowls, where the opposition’s play affects the next move. In unopposed target games, such as golf and darts, the outcome is not affected by what the opposition does.
Make a small and large circle on a wall. This could be done by drawing the circles with chalk or using some sticky tape to mark the edges.
Using a ball, bean bag, soft object (toy) or piece of screwed up paper, throw to hit the circles.
Count your points in a 2 minute time period. You receive no points for missing the circles.
1 point for hitting the wall.
2 points for hitting inside the large circle.
3 points for hitting inside the small circle.
Types of throw can be underarm, overarm, sidearm or overhead.

What should you look at when you throw?
What can you do with your non-throwing arm and your feet?
