Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

Learners go through general and specific warm-ups. Group learners in pairs with a ball. Learners stand about 6m apart facing the direction of movement. Guide them to perform throwing and catching as they move from one point to the other. Supervise them and give the feedback to improve their performance. They play handball, netball or basketball game. End the lesson with cool down.
