    This resource describes a traditional Indigenous Australian ball game called Yulunga that can be used to teach fundamental movement skills. The game involves students rolling or throwing a ball underarm at a target to develop skills like catching, rolling, and striking. It benefits students by exposing them to different cultures and building cultural awareness. The game also maximizes participation and supports an inclusive learning environment for all students regardless of gender, physical ability, culture, or language. Some considerations include making sure the game is accessible to students with disabilities by allowing different ball sizes or methods of rolling/throwing and ensuring all students can participate fully as part of a team.

    - This game is a cultural and social resource; this ball throwing and hitting game was played by the Diyari people from near
    Lake Eyre, in South Australia. The game got its name from the balls being thrown as they are called koolchee.
    - This game is inclusive to all primary grades F-6.
    - Students may choose their ball, which suits their learning ability. For example, if a student is having difficulty, they may use
    a bigger sized ball to gain success, or if a big ball is too easy, they may wish to have a smaller ball such as a tennis ball.
    - Includes students with mobility disabilities as students can stand/sit at the line to aim and roll or throw the ball underarm.
    - If students are not able to use their arm to roll the ball, they are able to place the ball of the ground and softly kick it along
    the ground.
    Maximum Individual Participation (MIP)

    - This game is gender inclusivity, as it doesn’t discriminate genders.
    - Includes all cultural backgrounds, as it can lead to other students bringing their own cultural games to share with the class.
