| Target |
Children who have physical disability and/or difficulty in moving according to the movement of players on their and the opponent’s side Children who do not know how they should move on the field or court (Elementary, Lower Secondary, and Upper Secondary Departments: 6 to 17 year olds) |
|---|---|
| Disability category | deaf and hard of hearing physically challenged |
| Teaching units / Applicable scenes | physical education |
| Specific purposes | To enable children to assess the positioning of players on their and the opponent’s side, and to move to open space. |
| Considerations for disability characteristics |
(1) Use concrete objects (e.g., cones) as markers, to help children with difficulty in spatial cognition. (2) Teach those with difficulty deciding how to move, several different movement patterns. (3) Gradually increase the amount of information available to children with difficulty deciding how to move when too much information is available; for example, by beginning with a small number of players, small field/court, and immobile position, and then increasing the number of players, field/court size, and mobility of the position. (4) Change the rules so that children with difficulty performing several tasks at the same time can focus on developing the ability to assess fluid situations. |
| Expected effects and results | Children can assess the positioning of players on their and the opponent’s side, and decide independently where to move to. |
| How to use |
(1) Place three cones in a triangular pattern. (2) For a 3:1 formation, place one offensive player at each cone and one defensive player inside the triangle. (3) Children call and point a finger at an offensive player to ‘pass the ball’ to (no balls are actually used). That player raises a hand. (4) The offensive player who raised the hand calls and points a finger at another offensive player (who receives the ‘pass’) before a defender touches him/her. (5) The offensive player cannot call and point a finger when there is a defender between him/her and the receiver. (6) For a 2:1 formation, reduce the number of offensive players to two, with the three cones remaining in place. The offensive players call and point a finger at each other, as they move between the cones, avoiding defenders between the passer and receiver. |
