LEARNING GOALS
-Students will apply kin-ball skills like serving and catching in the game of four square.
-Students will demonstrate strategy taught in the game of four square.
-Students will work together as a team and cooperate in the game of four square.
OBJECTIVES
Psychomotor The student will be able to serve and catch the omnikin ball using
proper form with 80% accuracy by the end of the lesson. When serving, three of
their group members will be used as a tee with their arms holding the ball above
their head, themselves down on one knee, and their head down. The server will use
either a volleyball pass form, or use both their arms like a bat. When serving, they
will make a fist with one hand, and wrap their other hand around that fist. They will
call out omnikin and a color, and strike the ball with their elbows bent a little for
safety reasons. When catching the ball, students will keep the ball in the air while
their teammates run to the ball and help catch it.
Cognitive The students will be able to explain and demonstrate how to properly
serve and catch the omnikin ball. When serving, three of their group members will
be used as a tee with their arms holding the ball above their head, themselves down
on one knee, and their head down. The server will use either a volleyball pass form,
or use both their arms like a bat. When serving, they will make a fist with one hand,
and wrap their other hand around that fist. They will call out omnikin and a color,

and strike the ball with their elbows bent a little for safety reasons. When catching
the ball, students will keep the ball in the air while their teammates run to the ball
and help catch it. The also will be able to explain some basic strategy about serving
and when playing defense.
Affective - Students will stay engaged and actively participate throughout the
lesson. They will follow directions, and take care of the equipment. Throughout the
lesson their will demonstrate personal and social behavior by being a good teammate
and showing cooperation and sportsmanship.

Safety
Statement

I will ensure that I have gone through all of the safety protocols before each activity. If I
notice students are not following directions or breaking the protocol I will address the
issues. Groups will have proper space between them, so they dont have to worry about
running into each other or having any issues.

Expectations: I expect my students to stay on task and actively

participate throughout the lesson while trying their best. I also expect
that my students take care of the equipment and show respect for self
and others at all times. We will go over teamwork, cooperation, and
sportsmanship as that is a key component of this unit, and I expect that
they demonstrate those things throughout the lesson.

crossed and wait to be saved by a warm color ball. Players

with a warm colored ball will toss their ball to a frozen
player to unfreeze them. When the player is unfrozen, they
must try to unfreeze another player because they now have
possession of the warm colored ball. Change cold ball with
different players now and then.

in square 1 starts with a serve to any square. The team tries to catch the omnikin ball
without it hitting the ground. If they do, they serve it to another square and play keeps
going. Once it hits the ground, the square that it lands in has to go to square 4 and
each team moves up one square to fill their spot.
