Feedback Statements:
Positive feedback
I like the way you had your eyes on the bean bag throughout the catch , great job
Johnny way to freeze and put the beanbag on the floor quickly , thank you
Susie you did a great job tossing and spinning well the beanbag was in the air and caught it.
Positive corrective feedback
Bobby I like the way you had your eyes on the bean bag throughout the catch, this time show
me if you catch it with soft hands so it doesnt bounce off your hands.
Susie great job tossing the beanbag over your head, this time throw the beanbag a little higher
so you have enough time to turn and catch it.
Closure/Lesson Summary:
What are the important cues we need to remember when tossing, catching, and balancing?
When we toss the beanbag, how what should it look like?
When catching the beanbag should we look away or keep our eyes on the bean bag?

With your hands show me how many different types of catches you did?

Lesson Extension:
How can we use what we learned from beanbag outside of P.E.?
What other equipment can we use if we do not have a beanbag?
Where can you practice your beanbag skills?
What other activities do we use tossing and catching other than in beanbags
