Study Notes

Invasion Games

Invasion games are games where teams have a territory to defend.
They involve attacking and/or defending a goal or territory.
Examples include basketball, soccer, hockey, and rugby.

Monkey in the Middle

Objective: Practice eye-hand coordination, reaction time, and agility.
Equipment: Medium-sized ball.
Organization: Divide class into groups of three. Two players throw the ball, and the third person (the monkey) stands in the middle.
Procedure: Throwers toss the ball to each other, and the monkey tries to intercept. If successful, the monkey becomes a thrower.

In the Hoop

Objective: Practice eye-hand coordination (throwing and catching), improve reaction time, and teamwork.
Facility/Equipment: Half of a basketball court; two medium-sized balls; two hula hoops.
Organization: Divide class into two teams and assign a playing area/territory. One player from each team stands in a hula hoop as a goalie.
Procedure: Players pass the ball to each other, aiming to pass it to the goalie. If the ball falls to the ground, possession changes to the other team. A team scores by passing the ball to their goalie.

Invasion Game - Shoot in the Bin

Objective: Practice throwing, passing, aiming, and teamwork.
Facility/Equipment: Play area (basketball court-size); large plastic bin/container, ball (basketball or volleyball), bibs/vests (different colors per team), cones for boundaries.
Organization: Divide into two equal teams, with each player assigned a number. One team lines up on one side of the court, the other on the opposite side. The empty bin is placed in the middle of the court.
Procedure: Teams try to throw the ball into the container. A team scores by successfully throwing the ball into the bin.

Invasion Game - Battery Charger

Objective: Practice running, dodging, game strategy, and teamwork.
Facility/Equipment: A basketball court-size area; two large hula hoops (home bases); two cones (prison marks), bibs/vests (2 colors per team).
Organization: Divide into two teams. Players from each team stand in their hula hoops, which are considered home bases (battery chargers).
Procedure: Players aim to enter the other team's "home base" without being tagged. When tagged out, the player goes to the prison cone for a time.
