Name of Activity:
Hockey Hoop Dribble
Purpose of Activity:
To refine/develop hockey dribbling and puck handling skills.Prerequisites:
Prior introduction to the skill cues of dribbling/puck handling.Suggested Grade Level:
K-2Materials Needed:
about a dozen hula hoops in three colors: red, yellow, and green; 1 hockey stick for each student; one yarn ball or wiffle ball for each student
Description of Idea
Place about a dozen hoops around your playing area in 3 colors: red, yellow and green. Have students begin by dribbling in general space. These colors can be coordinated with the meaning of a traffic stop light. The following tasks are to be performed when they approach the hula hoops:
yellow hoop: dribble slowly one time around,
green hoop: dribble quickly around it (time), and
red hoop: carefully push the ball (forehand or backhand) into the hoop so the ball comes to a stop.
Variations:
Students have a partner and follow the leader as they move through the area.
Assessment Ideas:
Performance assessment by the teacher or a self assessment checklist can be used to evaluate the skill cues.
Adaptations for Students with Disabilities
A larger, slower, partially deflated ball can be used as a "puck", or the task can be performed with partners.
