Objective: Today, we’re going to learn about throwing. This is a fun skill that we will use in many games and activities! Are you ready to become a throwing champion?
As the children settle on the mat, let’s start with a little imagination to warm them up.
[Begin with an enthusiastic voice.]
“Once upon a time in a land not so far away, there was a magic ball that loved to bounce and roll! This ball had a special power: it could help everyone in the kingdom learn how to throw. One sunny day, all the children wanted to play with this magic ball, but first, they needed to learn the secret of throwing!”
Questions to Ask:
[Hold up a soft, colourful ball.]
“Look at this beautiful magic ball! Who would like to hold it? Remember, we need to use our best throwing skills today to make sure the ball travels far and fast, just like the characters in our story!”
[Conclude the introduction with excitement.]
“Alright, little friends! To get ready for our throwing practice, let’s stand up and pretend to be throwing that magic ball! On the count of three, let’s show the kingdom our best throws! One, two, three… Throw!”
Encourage the children to mimic throwing motions while saying, “Heave ho!” to energise them for the activity ahead.
After this engaging introduction, smoothly transition into the throwing activity, where students will learn proper throwing techniques and play throwing games together. This imaginative start will help foster interest and excitement, making throwing a delightful skill to learn!
