Activity Assessment
Warm up- 1 v 1
Set out two cones per pair in the space
available. Have cones directly opposite
each other, enough cones for all students
to have two between a pair.
 Partner the students up whilst
also numbering them 1 or 2
 Number 1’s will attack first, trying
to get beyond their partner and
dribble around their cone
 Number 2’s will defend first,
trying to stop the number 1’s
getting past them and dribbling
around their cone
Give students 3/4 minutes on both
attacking and defending before swapping
the childrens partners.
Main activity- 4 v 4 Games
See the attached photo. Year 6 – Main Activity ^
Lay out pitches in the space you have
available.
 Games will be 3 minutes long
 Both teams will try to attack and
defend in their teams, trying to
beat their opponent
 If you win, you move to the right
 If you lose, you stay on the pitch
you were on.

Plenary
Using students who display a
good technique in their
teams or pairs, use them to
demonstrate to the rest of
the class, ensuring to point
out why their technique is
effective.
These games can be repeated until
students understand both the attacking and
defending aspect of Hockey.
Extension
For students who display an understanding
of Hockey, move them on to a slightly
bigger pitch (if possible) and challenge their
understanding.
Ask them to:
 Complete a set number of passes
before scoring a goal e.g. 5
 Challenge them to not concede a
goal in a specific time slot e.g. 2
minutes
Support
Support students can continue from last
week, trying to improve and practice their
technique when holding the stick. They can
pass to other support students or teacher,
trying to be as accurate as possible.
