basketball game
Setup and Equipment: Break students into 6 teams, each student has a basketball and has some dribbling experience.
Guidelines:
- The object of this activity is to get students a lot of practice dribbling a ball.
- Teams line up and the line follows the leader at the front of the line.
- The teams will “snake” around the gym in without crossing through another team.
- Their leader should move at a steady pace and try to keep the team together.
- If someone loses their ball, they can retrieve it and return to their place in line.
- When the teacher blows the whistle or stops the music, they can state the command, “Rotate”. This will mean that the first person in line goes to the end of the line and everyone moves up one spot. Each team now has new leader to follow.
- Continue until all students have a chance to be the leader.
Setup and Equipment: 2 Basketballs, Basketball Court – Free Line marked
Objective: The object of the game is to “bump” the other players out of the game by making a shot before the person in back of you in the line does.
Triple Shot Basketball
Setup and Equipment:
-
For the teacher led demonstration chose three or four students
-
The demonstration is important especially for the second shot of the three shots. (Shooting from the spot you rebound from)
-
Each of the four teams has one basketball and a polyspot to designate an approximate free throw.
-
Another option for this game is to use the terms “recreational” and “competitive”for different games, this allows students to choose the game that is the best match for their skills.
-
In a typical Gym class four groups line up in back of the free throw line and start shooting on the teacher’s signal.
Rules:
-
Each Player gets three shots
-
SHOT ONE: From inside the free throw line – worth three points.
-
SHOT TWO: Wherever you catch the rebound from – worth two points.
-
SHOT THREE: A layup – worth one point
-
After turn is completed, pass the ball to the next person in the line.
-
Groups add each player’s points to their total.
-
After two or three minutes the teacher calls the game and all of the group rotates to the next basketball hoop.
-
The scoring continues at each of the four designated hoops.
-
The goal is to get your team to score as many points as possible, though, as usual, the most fun wins.
Setup and Equipment:
- Two color teams line up on the black lines at each end of the gym
- Students are numbered, so each person on the team has a different number (1-15)
- The opposite teams should have the corresponding number, so that when a number is called one person from each team is activated!
- In the center circle are two basketballs in a hula hoop
Rules:
- When the teacher calls a number, those two students pick up one of the balls, dribble it to any hoop in the gym and take one (no more than two) shots at a hoop.
- Dribble ball back to center circle and go to the end of the line.
- Teacher choses another and those 2 students take their turn.
- Continue until everyone takes a turn.
Variations:
- Chose 2 or more at a time.
- Add balls so everyone has their own ball.
- Use one ball and teams play offense and defense and try to score a basket.
