Warm up Cops and Robbers. Cops put robbers in jail (by moving in a skip/ hop/ jog) when they are tagged. Other robbers can free them. When jailed children practice balancing on one leg (count to 5) and change over. Ext - introduce a ball and when children in jail they can be released by catching another robbers ball and passing it back. T.P - Tiger hands for catching the ball or ''W hands by touching thumbs and spreading fingers. T.P - communicate by shouting name of person you want to free/throw ball to. Agility Drills Throwing relay Put children into four groups (behind each set of cones).
Place each team member next to a cone ready to move to the next cone when they have successfully passed on the ball so that eventually all children will have passed balls up and down the cones until they are back to their original cone. Winning team has all team members standing behind the cone. Races are: 1. Underarm throw 2. Chest pass 3. Bounce pass 4. Any throw we choose as long as we communicate by shouting name of team member. T.P - Think about power of push and distance when doing chest pass.

Give each team member a bean bag in their team colour. Aim for the box - if it misses collect and go to back of line. Winning team is the first to get all their bean bags in the box. Variation - give each team a large amount of bean bags (in their team colour). Set timer for a minute. Take it in turns to throw their bean bag. Winning team has most of their coloured bean bags in the box.
Warm Down Recap on different passes and ask chn to demonstrate to class/ practice. How many time does the ball bounce on a bounce pass? Where does the ball go/ end on a chest pass? Practice each pass with a partner - can they do it 10s without dropping it?
