Lesson Focus: The class will be divided in four teams to participate in a modified game of hockey. The teams will be put in particular playing positions on each half of their playing court.
Organization: Set up two teaching areas. Two teams will play against each other on one court while the other two teams play against each other on the other court. Have two goalie areas set up between 6feet apart. One team on each court will need to wear the jerseys. On another day, change the teams who were wearing the jerseys.
Have three forwards, two halfbacks, one fullback and one goalie. If you have more players, add an extra player to the forward, halfback or fullback position. About half way through the remaining P.E. period, have players switch playing positions on both courts.
Start play with a face-off. The forwards can play any part of the court and are offensive players. The backs move behind the attackers and are ready to field the puck. The fullbacks stay back and play defense. The goalie should stay in the goalie area to block the puck from going in the goal.
