2.3.4 successfully transition from the ready position into the execution of a skill
Big Idea(s)/Essential Question(s): What question(s), big idea(s), and/or goals drive

. To practice and possibly assess the previously taught volleyball skills in a fun partner activity.

Academic Language-- overhead pass, underhand serve, and set

Conceptstrying to build up to the game of volleyball
Skills To practice the previously taught skills: setting, forearm pass, overhand/underhand serving.
Applicationsthis game helps with coordination
Lesson Objective(s): Clear, specific, and measurable.
Control your pass or serve to the appropriate target
Assessment/Evaluation: Formative: Student demonstration of current lesson

objective(s).
Summative: What evidence will you collect and how will it document student learning and
mastery of the lessons objective(s)? Formal/Informal: Statements made as to what type of
assessment you will use to gather student data.

Each student learned about coordination and control

Instructional Strategies/Activities:
Break your students off into partners around the gym. Place playing cards face down on the floor in
places that are easily accessed by students on either side of the net, but are out of the playing area.
On your signal, the activity begins. The partner without the ball will go draw a playing card and bring
it back to their partner. Each type of card stands for an activity.
For example:
Spades=Underhand/overhand serve
Clubs=Overhead set
Diamonds=Forearm pass
Hearts=Any exercise (i.e., jumping jacks, push-ups, etc., could designate specific exercises or have
student choice)
A normal card is worth their face value. For example, if the student draws a 4 of clubs, the partners

Coaching
Cues:
Let the
students know
that they
should practice
serving over
the net to their
partner. If they
draw the Clubs
(Overhead Set)

have to do 4 overhead sets to one another. All face cards (jack, king, queen) are worth 10 of the
activity and an Ace is worth 11. When they have completed one card, the other partner will take it
back and draw a new card. I will usually play this for several minutes as a review of all the skills
learned so far. Make sure to have a key hanging up somewhere around the room so that if students
forget what activity a heart is supposed to be, they can run up and double check.

Materials and Resources:

1 -2 decks of cards, volleyballs, a poster key of the activity for students to crossreference, various sizes of volleyballs and other lightweight trainer volleyballs, and
nets set up across gym/space.

or the
Diamonds
(Forearm
Pass), they
should practice
on the same
side of the net
as their
partner. This
would mimic
game play
since passing a
ball over the
net is
considered an
"attack".

Safety
Reminders
:
Do not use
the ball as a
basketball.
Do not hit
the ball too
hard.
