Floor Hockey Unit

For the past few PE classes, we did our Juggling Unit, which I didn't like. But recently, just this Tuesday, we started our Floor Hockey Unit!

A game I liked was “Pirates”. “Pirates” helps to improve our stick-handling. In “Pirates”, there are landowners and, of course, pirates. The pirates go after the landowners, trying to steal their pucks. Once a landowner’s puck is stolen, he or she becomes a pirate. If a puck goes over the border, or the black rectangle, the person who hit it out has to do five clap jacks. I liked this game for its speedy tempo.

A warm-up I like was “Body Part Relay Race”. In this strange race, people line up in groups of threes. One person runs to the mid-line, and touches it with the body part of the day. Then, he/she runs back to the starting line, touches it with the body part of the day, runs to the end-line, touches it, and runs to the starting line and touches it, earning one point for the group. The second person in line does ten clap jacks. The third person does a wall-sit for ten seconds. The team with the most points wins. Kevin, Patrick Fan, and I always select each other as group members. We're the fastest runners in the class, so we always win. I like this warm-up for its ability to make people bend into strange positions to touch the floor with their body parts.

To sum up, I like this unit better than the previous one!
