Lesson Focus: Students will participate in two different hockey activities that will improve their skills. Organization: Divide the class into two teams. One team will wear the jerseys. The students will be standing on two lines facing each other. Have two different games set up on two teaching areas. One group of 15 players can participate in End Zone Hockey. The other group of 15 players will play Battle Puck Hockey. The two groups will switch activities after approximately ten minutes of playing time.	Remind students to work hard as a team and display good sportsmanship. End Zone Hockey: One group of 15 will wear jerseys and play on one half of the court. There will be three players playing against each other as forwards while the other four will play as goalies. The objective of the game is to try and score a goal past the other teams goalies. After approximately five minutes of playing, forwards and goalies switch positions. Battle Puck Hockey: The teacher will number off the students who are standing on the opposite lines. Number 1-8 on one side and number 1-8 on the opposite side. The number 1’s and number 8’s will be on the opposite ends of the line. When the number from both teams is called, they play against each other trying to score a goal against the other teams line. Play for each player can be one minute.
Closure: Put all equipment back where it was set up before class began. What was our lesson today? How is End Zone Hockey different from Battle Puck Hockey? Why is it important to have good sportsmanship?
