How to play
How to play
Players score points by kicking over lines or at targets in a defined area.
On the coach’s signal, one or two players in each group kick the ball into the playing area.
Players score their kick based on which line it lands over.
Record your scores as tally marks then write the total of each score in the next column.
The remaining players in each group kick their balls and note their score.
Balls are retrieved on the coach’s signal and the next round begins after all team members are behind the starting line.
Have a look at your table, which score did you kick the most? Which score did you kick the least? What else did you notice about your data?
Find the total of each score and record it in table.
Combine all of the points that you scored to find your total score.
Variations
Variations

Increase or decrease the throwing distance
Simplify scores in students’ target, for example use 2, 5, 10, 20.
Decrease the number of kicks per student to 10.
Students predict and explain their total score if they had 40 kicks and 60 kicks.
