Minds On
Share and clarify the lesson Learning Goals with the students. Have students predict what they will be
doing based on the Learning Goals.
Using group discussion, students identify Success Criteria for accurately sending objects to a target by
kicking.
Teacher reviews the three phases of kicking with control:
Preparation
Execution
Keep your eyes in the direction in which you want the ball to travel.
Ankle firm (no floppy feet) when contacting ball.
Strike the ball with the instep of the foot.
Lean backwards into the kick.
Follow-Through
Review the simple ways students might vary proximity, force and aim to increase their chances of
success in hitting their targets.

Action
Soccer Bowling
Set up 10 stations, where each station consists of one pylon placed six metres away from a marked line,
and 4 bowling pins placed around each pylon (about one foot away from the pylon).
Divide students into pairs.
Students take turns kicking a soccer or utility ball at the pins and pylon, from the marked line (about six
metres from the pylon).
Students try to kick the pins down first, then attempt to kick the pylon down.
Students count how many times they are successful in kicking down all pins and the pylon after 10 kicks.
Repeat activity, with the students goal being to improve their score.
Focus of the activity should be on increasing heart rate while using various locomotor skills.
Teacher moves through the space giving individual students descriptive feedback for aim and accuracy.

kicking skills and strategies using Teacher Resource 7: Sending Skills (Kicking with Control) Rubric
Cool-Down
Students gradually decrease their heart rate to a resting rate by participating in the activity below.
Students should also stretch the body parts that have been active throughout the lesson. See
Appendix for stretches.

Consolidation
Students use the Thumbs-Up Strategy (see Appendix) to self-assess their ability to obtain the lesson
Learning Goals. Review Learning Goals with students and what those goals would have looked like
based on the Success Criteria.
A&E - Consolidation
Teacher observation of students responses to self-assessment of the Success Criteria for Sending
Objects to a Target by kicking, using the Thumbs-Up Strategy (see Appendix)
Wall Kick
Have students kick the ball against the wall for 2 . 3 minutes, practising the fundamentals of kicking with
control.
Have students participate in a Soccer Bowling tournament where teams of two challenge other teams.
Next Steps
Students will continue to develop their knowledge of sending objects to a target by kicking, making
note of proximity, force and aim.
Notes to Teacher
Remind students that they should remain aware of other students' positions and not kick a ball towards a
target if anyone is between them and the target.
