This week we have tried to utilize our newly refined throwing and catching skills in a game situation. The game that we have been working on is called Mat Ball. It is very similar to baseball, softball, teeball, and mostly kickball. To be able to perform well, the students needed to use both throwing to a target and passing to a partner techniques that we focused on last week. The game has quite a lot of different things going on all at the same time and it has been interesting to see the kids enjoyment of the game grow as they became more and more comfortable with their understanding of the rules and strategies. Some key terms that the should now be aware of are:
Pitcher
Foul Ball
Out
Safe
Home
Base
They should also be able to tell what the 3(year 1) or 4(year 2) ways are that a player can get out.
