Lesson Plan 2
How the quality teaching elements you have identified are achieved within the lesson.
Modification:
• To increase difficulty, students can increase the
distance between them, or add an extra step
like having to touch the ground whilst the ball
is in the air before catching it.
• To simplify, the distance between students can
be reduced, or students can focus only on their
dominant hand until they feel comfortable.

Lesson Plan 3
How the quality teaching elements you have identified are achieved within the lesson.
Once the game has been repeated, I will stop the game
and bring everyone back into the circle formation for a
discussion.
Discussion questions will include:
Does everyone like this game?
Do you think it is a good game for a big group?
What skills do we need to be able to play this game?
Do you think this game would be easier if we had
practiced these skills?
Resources:
– 6 x cone shaped markers
– 24 x kanga cricket balls
– 6 x kanga cricket plastic
bats
To teach the skill of blocking, I will place 6 cone shaped
markers on the line, each marker being 5m apart. I will
instruct students to line up behind a marker in groups of
4, with one student standing behind the cone and the
rest standing 5 metres behind, to give the batter room
and prevent any student getting hit. I will then hand out
a plastic bat to each group and instruct them to practice
this striking technique. Once they have each practiced
the technique a few times, I will place a kanga cricket
ball on top of each marker and ask them to practice
striking the ball gently. Once each student has hit the
ball once, I will ask the students to put the bats down
and to retrieve all the balls. Once they have done this
activity three times, I will call the students back in to a
circle formation to explain the next game.

questions:
What did we do first today? Warm Up- bull rush/ Student: answer discussion
thapumpan questions
Why did we do that? To get our muscles working so we
don’t get injuries Resources:
What was next? Striking/ blocking practice
Why did we do that? To improve our skills before using
them in a game
What was next? Wana
What was the aim of that game? To try and throw the
ball into the bin, and the batter had to try and block it.
What did we do next? Modified Wana
How was this different from the first game? We could
throw the ball in any order, which made it harder for the
batter to know where the next ball would come from .
Was this more enjoyable? (students answer)
What was the last activity? Wana with a runner
What was different about this game? We were in teams,
the throwing team also had to fiend the ball and try get
it into the bin before the batter ran to the marker and
back.
Was this game more enjoyable? (Students answer)
Does the last game we played remind you of any other
sports? Cricket
Why does it remind you of cricket? There are two teams,
and the batter had to hit the ball and then run and the
fielding team had to get the ball back to the bin, like the
stumps in cricket.
Wrap Up
These games we played today can be used as modified
versions of cricket as we just discovered. In the
upcoming lessons, we will be looking at other traditional
Aboriginal games and how they relate to other sports
that are common today.
Reflection
What have I learned about the teaching and learning process when preparing this
lesson?
I have learnt that modifying games and activities can be simple, and that there are
many ways to modify a game successfully. I have learnt that it is important to make
sure students can perform the fundamental skills needed in games, as they may
struggle or be disinterested if they are unable to perform the associated skills.

During the striking practice, students are instructed to strike the ball gently, and
students are not allowed to collect the balls until they have all been hit,
preventing anyone from getting hit by a ball.
Students are also instructed to give the batter a 5-metre area between them to
also prevent a student being hit by a bat.

Justification
The three lesson plans created are based on the topic ‘Cultural games’, which fit into
the Lifelong physical activity strand of the HPE syllabus. Throughout the lesson plans,
students learn about the history and importance of Aboriginal culture, with a focus
on traditional Aboriginal games. Students are expected to learn and practice the
understanding of how the games were created and played, and to look at the
similarities they have with sports played worldwide today. The overall aim of the
sequential lesson plans was to introduce or refresh students’ knowledge about all
aspects of Aboriginal culture, and then put a focus on traditional Aboriginal games.
The next step was to introduce students to a modified version of these games and
teach them how to play these games, whilst thinking about and identifying the
fundamental skills used in each game. Once identified, students would practice each
skill before returning to the game, where they would replay the game with a focus
on the new skills. Each game would then progress through modifications to the game
rules or game play, until the full game had been played. The next step is to identify
the similarities these games have with sports that are played today, and the focus
would then switch to those sports and the skills involved. The lesson plans are
written with a Game Sense approach, focusing on introducing the selected game
first, before practicing the skills needed to improve in the game and then replaying
The lesson plans include a range of activities, some being student directed, but most
instructions are given by the teacher and understood by the students to encourage a
movement skills (Pearson, Webb, & Mckeen, 2006). The first lesson plan is a theory
lesson, which aims to teach students about Aboriginal history and culture, with a
strong focus on the traditional games they created and played as recreational
activities. The Yulunga Traditional Indigenous Games Resource played a big part in
the planning of this lesson, ensuring that every game was given the respect it
deserves by teaching students about how and where the games were created
(Australian Sports Commission, 2009). The lesson begins with finding out students’
prior knowledge about Aboriginal culture, to allow the teacher to set the beginning
of the lesson at a point that builds from this knowledge. The lesson is highly student
driven, with class discussions and group presentations being two of the key learning
activities, also being as used as two informal ways of assessing students in regards to
Informal assessment is used throughout the three lesson plans, as they are
introductory lessons which would build up to a formal assessment towards the end
of the topic. The second and third lesson plans each focus on one traditional
Aboriginal game, and involve students playing the game before identifying and
practicing the fundamental movement skills of that game. The lessons also include
discussions at the end of each activity, which allow the students to reflect on the
activity and to encourage them to think about the discussion questions which
include how can the games be modified and how does practicing the fundamental
movement skills help us to play the game. The lessons are set out this way to allow
students to develop their own understanding of the game and the skills involved
whilst being actively involved which promotes higher order thinking and deep
Model (Light, Curry, & Mooney, 2014). Other elements that are highlighted in the
game sense approach and in these lessons, include engagement, student direction,
cultural knowledge and inclusivity. The lessons are strongly linked to the NSW
Quality teaching model through the use the game sense approach and meeting the
curriculum outcomes.
Curriculum outcome 4.10, A student explains how personal strengths and abilities
contribute to enjoyable and successful participation in physical activity, was the main
outcome taught throughout the lessons (Board of Studies, 2003). The outcome
recreational activities, health and fitness, initiative/ challenge activities and physical
activities with cultural significance, all of which are elements of the traditional
Aboriginal games that were focused on in the lessons. Every activity that was
included in the lessons also had several modifications that could be changed if
needed. This was an important factor when selecting the activities to be included as
variation and modification are two of the most important things in regards to
teaching games in HPE (Georgakis, Wilson, & Evans, 2015). The progression of each
activity, was often not a big change, but one that would challenge the students in a
way different to the previous activity. Each activity was change every 10 minutes, to
keep students engaged and prevent them from getting bored of an activity.
In conclusion, the game sense approach is adequately used across the three
sequential lesson plans to introduce Aboriginal culture and traditional games to the
stage 4 students. The focus on actively learning each game and the breakdown of
quality and understanding the significance of the skills they are learning to be used in
everyday life. The game sense pedagogy promotes high quality learning
environments, where students are able to direct their own learning in a supportive
environment. The game sense approach has the potential to increase students’
engagement due to the variation of activities and the progression from using a skill
in a traditional game through to using the same skill in sports played today.
