The PE Class
This unit plan has been created for a class of 24 grade 8 students in PE. The class is an even split of girls and
boys. Each class is 60 minutes long.
Of note is Jimmy, a student with a partial hearing impairment. Efforts will be made throughout the unit to
accommodate Jimmy. Important information will be displayed on whiteboards and walls around the gym, rather
than just verbally communicated. When verbal communication is unavoidable, the PE teacher will be certain to
stand close to Jimmy, and will ensure that he/she is facing in Jimmy’s direction the entire time, so that Jimmy
can lip read. Providing a copy of the lesson plan, or assigning a peer helper to Jimmy may also assist him.
The Unit
The handball unit is based on Teaching Games for Understanding. There is more of a focus on strategy and
formation then there is on directly teaching skills (ie through drills). The unit is focused on gameplay and
incidental learning. Accompanying the unit plan and 5 lesson plans are 3 summative assessments, one for each
of the domains in Bloom’s taxonomy.
The Space
This unit will take place in the school gymnasium. The gymnasium is large for a junior high school, a basketball
court fits comfortably with at least ten feet of space from the edges of the court to the wall on each side. A
divider can be used to separate the gym in to two halves. Each half of the gymnasium is large enough to
comfortably fit one volleyball court and a smaller sized basketball court. These smaller basketball courts will be
used as handball courts for this unit, with the key being the crease, and hockey nets used as goals.

Introduction/Warm Up (10 mins)
Introduction
Introduce types of Handball –Beach and Indoor
Walk around and point out important lines of court
Warm up
Timed Tag
Divide students into four teams, two teams and one ball per
half court
One team starts off with a rubber chicken and must ‘tag’ the opposing players with the ball.
Students must pass the chicken in order to ‘tag’ the players
out of the game. Players may take three steps with chicken.
Players cannot throw the chicken at the other players. If
players go outside the boundaries they are out.
Time to see how long it takes each team to ‘tag’ all the
opposing players out.
Assessment/Evaluation/Comments Students will circle around white
board for introduction/instructions
Give handout with lines of court to
every student
Remind students of “Freeze” as the
stop signal, and that equipment
should be place on the floor when
teacher is talking
Players are not allowed to dribble Play at least twice, to see if they
can beat their time
Learning Activities/Teaching Strategies (35 mins)
Activity One: (5 mins)
Students will get into groups of three
Player with the bean bag will pass to either
partner and cut to the open pylon.
Player catching the bean bag will then
pass and cut to the open space pylon.
Increase challenge by increasing court
distance.
Have students count the number of
successful passes
Progression (5 mins)
Have students toss the bean bag to the open pylon and it is
the responsibility of one of the other players to make it there
in time and catch it Count the number of successful passes
Activity Two (5 mins)
Keep students in groups of three
Gradually increase the intensity by asking the students to
walk around the gym, then jog, then run and pass the bean
bag
Get students to count the number of consecutive passes they
can make, if they drop the ball, they have to start counting
again
Students can pick their own groups
Emphasis on passing followed by
cutting to open space
Beanbags may only be tossed
underhand
Show target and signal for pass Students should demonstrate
accurate passing
Students should focus on catching
pass while on balance and
maintaining a strong base
Question: How can you make yourself
ready to receive a pass?
Give student choice of underhand
or overhand pass
Students must stay two arm lengths
away from group mates Once students are comfortable, see
which group can get the most
consecutive passes in 1 minute
Question: What type of pass was better for
Unit Plan: Handball 8
Activity Three (15 mins)
Divide students into six teams (4 per team), two teams per
court
Teams try to score by placing the bean bag down on the
opposing team’s end line.
They are allowed to take as many steps as they want and as
many passes
Opposing team tries to ‘tag’ or touch the player holding the
bean bag
If they ‘tag’ the player holding
the bean bag, it is turned over to the
other team. Give the player 3 meters to
pass in the turned over bean bag
After a few minutes progress to
only 5 steps, then to 3 steps
Rotate winning teams after 5
minutes
Progression : (5 mins)
Make courts narrower and
have them play again
shorter distances? Longer distances?
Set up three courts with cones
Number students off (1-6)
Each player must touch the bean
bag before scoring
Emphasize short passes
Question: When might longer passes be
better than short ones?
Question: When you don't have the chicken,
what can you do to increase your chances of getting it?
Students should understand that
this is harder because they cannot
space out and it is harder find open
space to get open
Question: What makes this game
harder/different?
Closure/Cool Down (5 mins)
Ask students to gather equipment and sit down in
front of the white board
Debrief: Ask students to call out important lines,
what the types of handball are, and what helps them
receive/make a space
Next class: Adding defense
Assessment:
No formal assessment today. Observation of application of basic skills:
Were students able to send and receive
passes accurately, did students consistently attempt to create space and move for a pass and did students accurately answer questions
Equipment
-12 cones -3 different colors
-24 Pinnies
-8 Bean bags
Safety Considerations
Ensure gym floor has been swept and is free of obstacles
Remind students to keep their heads up when running around
court

Introduction/Warm Up (10 mins)
Introduction
Will continue to develop Handball skills
Working on adding defense today
Warm up
Get students in groups of 5
Start with 2 play ground balls and have them stand in a circle
and pass in a star pattern
Gradually add more handballs to the group until all group
members have ball
Assessment/Evaluation/Comments Students will circle around white
board for instructions
If students pick this up easily, can
ask them to count consecutive
passes
Students should try different types
of passes (underhand, overhead,
bounce)
Learning Activities/Teaching Strategies (35 mins)
Activity One: (7 mins)
Get students into pairs
Partner A has a ball and moves around the gym while partner
B follows
On whistle, Partner A tosses the ball up and B tries to catch the ball before it hits the ground
Partner B is trying to stay close enough to Partner A to be
able to catch the ball when it is tossed
Partner A is trying to get away from Partner B and then
trying to toss the ball so that B cannot catch it
Activity Two (10mins)
Get students into groups of 4 (use pinnies)
Two are on offense and two are on defense
Keep away- students attempt to make consecutive passes without allowing defenders to intercept the passes
Students should count the number of successful passes they
can make
Once defense gets ball, they go on offense
Allow students to choose size of area they wish to play in
(using lines on court), get them to try least two different
sizes
Progression (10 mins)
Same activity, put students in groups of 6 for 3 on 3, and
after a few minutes get students in groups of 8 for 4 on 4
Students can choose court size again ________________________________________________
Activity Three (18 mins)
Get students in a line and pair
students off
Students should demonstrate
marking an opponent
Remind students to stay low on
defense Switch offense and defense every
minute
Switch pairs after a few minutes
Question: What made this activity
easy/hard?
Question: What type of body position was
better for the defense?
___________________________________
Ask students to join another pair
from pervious activity
Students will need to move to an
open space to receive a pass
Students should communicate with
each other, letting ball carriers
know who and where to pass to
Short, quick passes will be more successful than long, lob passes
Students cannot run with ball
Defensive Cues: Stay low, knees
bent, stay on balls of feet, and push
off outside foot (to change
direction)
Students will need to move into
open space and defense will
practice marking
Assign students into groups, give
Unit Plan: Handball 10
Two teams of 4 play against each other in the attempt to
score more points than the other team
Each team has one 'goalie' who may move anywhere along
the end line as long as he/she stays behind this line
To score, players must pass the ball up the court and to the
goalie; if the goalie catches the ball
behind the end line, a point is awarded
Each player on the team must
touch the ball before a point can be
awarded
Defenders may not touch the ball carrier, the defender simply tries to
prevent the opponent from making a
successful pass
out pinnies when students are in
groups of 4
Question: Did defensive strategy change as
the number of students increased?
Set up three courts with cones Use same groups of 4 from last
activity (will need pinnies)
After a point is won, a new goalie
must take the place of the current
goalie
Students start with passing only,
no steps with ball
After first game, allow students to
take 3 steps
Rotate winning teams clockwise
after 4 minutes Questions: Did defensive strategy/technique
change when offense was moving forward
towards a goal?
Closure/Cool Down (5 mins)
Ask students to gather equipment and sit down in
front of the white board
Debrief: What does good defensive body position
look like? Where does the defense want to position
their body to prevent offense from getting the ball?
Next class: Shooting and offensive formations
Assessment:
No formal assessment today. Observation of application of basic skills:
Did students demonstrate proper defensive
technique, did students stay with their check
on defense and were students able to
accurately answer questions
Equipment
-12 cones -3 different colors
-24 Pinnies
-25 small playground balls
-4 Gator Balls
Safety Considerations
Ensure gym floor has been swept and is free of obstacles
Remind students to make sure there is space between courts

Introduction/Warm Up (15 minutes)
Spilt class into 4 different groups. (6 members each)
2 games
Each team has 4 bowling pins they must set up in their goal or
beside the goal. Students must knock down their opponents
bowling pins by throwing a ball at it to knock it over.
Students cannot leave their half unless they jump over the line
and release the ball before they land and return after they
have landed with no ball
Students can only take 3 steps with ball and then pass it or
throw it
There will be 4 balls in play
The balls will be form and range in different sizes
Have teams play all teams before the warm up is finished
Assessment/Evaluation/Comments
Explain the game before sending
them off in teams
Have a good start stop word or
whistle so it is easy to stop and get
them ready for the next game
Explain the objective is to hit the
targets and not the people
Have pinnies for 3 of the teams
Break up teams evenly as they will
be in these groups all class
Learning Activities/Teaching Strategies
Activity One –Shoot Out Relay (15 Minutes)
Keep students in the groups they are already in
Explain the crease and that no one is allowed in the crease
except the goalie. All shots must come from outside this
crease
Have the group members stand in a line that is back from the
crease line. Have one member stand right next to the crease
line.
The students in the line will pass a dodge ball to the person near the crease and run towards the crease. They will receive
a pass back and throw the ball at one of the five targets set up
in the goal
Explain to students that once they receive a pass they have 3
steps before they shoot as long as they do not step in the
crease.
Explain there are many different types of shots and that they
should try them all, however do not tell what the shots are.
They them figure it out themselves.
The team who hits all the targets first wins.
Activity Two – Lane Handball (15 Minutes)
Staying in the groups they will now play a game against other
teams.
We will show them a certain formation strategy that shows
where they should be when on defense and where they should
be on offence (they will quickly see that both are in the same
line)
They will now play a game where they must move the ball up
the court and shoot to hit the targets in the net.
Players cannot move with the ball unless its their 2 steps
Use flat cones to show the crease
Net should be in the middle and at
the back of the crease
Demonstrate using one group and
have other groups follow
Ask what kind shots would be more
effective in what kind of situations
Ask them to show you some
different kinds of shots that will be effective
Make sure they are able to perform
the jump shot as well as the
standing shot
SEE ATTACHED DIAGRAMS
Use 2 groups to demonstrate the
game
Ask group how the strategies
change when we add the defender
Ask groups how staying in the
lanes helps with the game?
Make sure everyone is passing to
everyone
Again use flat cones to make the
Unit Plan: Handball 12
They must stay in the lane that we have just discussed. In this
lane will also be the other player form the other team. So the
both of them learn how to play with man-on-man coverage
Emphasize the concept of passing and getting an open shot
Must make at least 3 passes before you shoot
PROGRESSION
Use a smaller ball. Keep playing with smaller balls until we
start to play with an actual handball
Have students switch lanes so they get to experience the
different areas
Activity Three – Pin Handball (15 Minutes)
crease
Discuss defensive positioning – see
layout on test answer key
Staying in the same groups they will play games
Using the knowledge of everything they learned in class they
will attempt to knock over the 5 pines lined up along the goal
line
The lane are in play however players can move all around the
court if they feel they have a better chance to score
Must have at least 5 passes before they can shoot
No moving with the ball unless it is the 3 steps that is allowed
Closure/Cooldown: (1 Minute)
Have everyone come together
Ask questions about Handball (what they learned)
How should your body position look if you want to receive a
pass?
What should you do after you pass?
How can we successfully move the item forward if we are
playing in a narrow court?
Why would you want to jump into the crease?
Where should you receive the pass if you want to jump into
the crease?
When shooting at the net, where should one aim?
Games for 5 minutes then switch
the opponents
3 different games for a total of 15
minutes
Make sure everyone is playing and
getting involved
Ask them how the strategy changes
when you are allowed to move
from just your lane?
What are the benefits from the lane and what are disadvantages

Introduction/Warm Up (10 minutes)
Spilt times into 4 groups (different than other times)
Explain concepts we learned last class
Warm up will be Lane Handball. A game we learned last
class
Students will recall that they have one person to defend and
that they must pass to move the ball and get open in order to
have a better shot
Assessment/Evaluation/ Comments
Explain the game before sending
them off for the warm up
Have a good start stop word or
whistle so it is easy to stop and get
them ready for the next game
Have the crease made with flat cones
Emphasize skills that we learned
last class
Learning Activities/Teaching Strategies
Activity One – Dribbling Knockout (10 Minutes)
Students will all be given a ball and they must dribble their
ball in the activity area
Students must maintain a controlled dribble while trying to
knock away other peoples balls as well as watching out for
people trying to knock their ball
Once your ball in knocked out, the students will get their ball
and then stand on the side line and try to knock others from
that point
As the numbers decrease the size of the playing area smaller
PROGRESSION (5 Minutes)
Make the activity area smaller
Make the activity area smaller while they playing
Activity Two – Lane Handball With Dribbling (10 Minutes)
Get students back into 4 groups
Explain that in Handball you are allowed to dribble. You are
allowed to dribble after you take 3 steps and when you stop
you can take 3 steps again but then you must stop and either pass or shoot. Once you have used your dribble and stopped
you cannot dribble again until you have passed the ball and
received in back
They will be playing the lane handball game again however
this time they are allowed to dribble
In this game they will pass dribble and shot, but one in their
lanes.
A defender can steal the ball when you are dribbling so you
must be cautious of your surroundings
Use the lines on the gym floor as a reference for the playing area
If there is not enough handballs
use basketball balls, handball balls,
volleyball balls or any balls that
bounce. They only need to learn
the skills that come with bouncing
(where to bounce the ball, look
around, where are you in space
etc.) they do not necessarily need
the handball.
Reinforce safety rules Walk around to help and give
feedback
Ask students what kind of
strategies they need and are using
Demonstrate using a student and
yourself
SEE DIAGRAMS WITH
LESSON 3
Demonstrate using one group and
have other groups follow
Have pinnies ready for teams
Talk about how it is different from
not being allowed to dribble
Ask what kind of strategies you
need to know that you are allowed
to move? What is better?
Make sure everyone is playing and
getting a turn to pass
Unit Plan: Handball 16
Objective is too knock down the targets in the goal
Teams must make at least 4 passes before shooting
Activity Three – Handball Games (20 Minutes)
Playing Handball games against other teams
Playing with goalies not targets
Playing with dribbling and passing
Must make a pass to everyone on the team before shooting
Explain that when a ball goes out of bounds behind the net it
is the goalies ball. Out of bounds to the side means it the
opposites teams ball.
Goalies can not leave the crease, however students can rotate
their goalies around so they all get a chance to play
Closure/Cooldown: (5 Minute)
Have everyone come together
Ask questions about handball (what they learned)
Ask what other sports can we use these kind of skills in
Ask what the benefits are with dribbling and what the
challenges arise?
Ask what was harder, playing with a goalie or playing trying
to hit targets? Why?
Games for 7 minutes then switch
the opponents

Introduction/Warm Up (22 minutes)
1. Handball unit test (10 minutes) 2. Handball skills assessment (students) (5 minutes)
3. Handball affective behaviors rubric (students) (5 minutes) Students can do
both the unit test, skills assessment, and affective rubric at the same time.
Students can write while sitting wherever they choose in the gym, so long as
they are separate from each other. Students that finish quickly must wait
quietly until their classmates have finished writing. Collect all tests and
assessments at the end of 20 minutes.
4. Divide class up in to pre-determined teams (see attached team rosters). Each
team must come up with a team name, and team cheer. The team cheer will
be presented to the opposing team before the start of each game. Jimmy’s
team will have to ensure that Jimmy can hear the discussion about the cheer, meaning that they will have to be standing close to him, and that they are not
facing away from him when they speak. (2 minutes)
Learning Activities/Teaching Strategies (35 minutes)
Round robin (see attached round robin schedule). Games are to be played with full
rules, which students have learned throughout the unit. There will be two courts, one
on each half of the gym. Use the half-size basketball courts as boundaries, and hockey
nets as goals. The key will be utilized as the crease on these courts. Games are 6 on 6,
and 6 minutes long. No one can be the goalie more than once. At the completion of
each game, a representative from each team will tell the teacher who won. The teacher
will keep track of game results in order to set up the final rounds.
After scores have been reported, teams move to their next game. The teacher will give
instructions to touch a set of objects as quickly as possible before moving to the next
game:
1. “Touch something red, a chair, and a wall”
2. “Give someone not on your team a highfive, and touch two walls”
3. “Touch a door, a bench, and three lines on the gym”
4. “Touch all four walls, and a whiteboard”
As soon as both teams have completed their task and arrived at the court, team cheers
can begin, followed by the start of the game. The goal is for students to be moving as
quickly as possible between games, and to keep energy high.
Closure/Cool Down (3 minutes)
Each student needs to give a high five to ten different people, and then bring in all the
equipment.
Assessment/Evaluation/
Comments
Rules of handball (in our class) 1. If a pass is incomplete, or
if the ball goes out of bounds, the ball goes to the defensive team
2. Players have three seconds and three steps with the ball. They must then either dribble, shoot, or pass. Failure to do so results in a turnover.
3. If a player handles the ball in the crease, it is a turnover
4. There must be 3 passes before a team can shoot. Failure to pass the ball 3 times before shooting results in a turnover
To assess Specific Outcome C8-
6: identify and demonstrate
positive behaviours that show
respect for self and others,
observe the team cheers. If an
individual is not participating in
the cheer with enthusiasm, then
they have not met this specific
outcome.

Handball Handout
Handball is a team sport in which two teams of seven (six outfield players and a goalie) pass a ball to try to score a
goal on the other team. The team with the most goals at the end of the game wins. The player with the ball can
pass, dribble (at least once every three steps), or shoot. Players have 3 seconds to do one of these three things.
Failure to do so results in a turnover. Players can go wherever they like on the court, with the exception of the
crease around each net – only the goalie can be in the crease. The only time a player may touch the ground inside
the crease is if they jump before throwing the ball and land in the crease, throwing the ball while in the air.
The six outfield players are: wingman (left and right), backcourt (left, right, and centre), and pivot. On defense,
these six outfielders typically form a shell around the 6 metre line, with 5 on the line itself, and one covering
players on the 9 metre line.
Rule infractions in an official game of handball result in a penalty throw from the 7 metre line. The goalie stands at
the 4 metre line, and cannot move forward from the mark before the player throws.
Handball is most frequently played indoors, but there is another form of handball played outdoors on beaches.

Physical Summative Assessment (Skill Assessment)
At the end of the unit the teacher will give the student a mark out 5 for each skill. The mark will be based
on how the teacher felt the student did at each skill. The mark will be individual, which means if there are
some students who are not the best but they have improved from day they will be able to get a high mark
because they are showing how far they have come. This is also beneficial for those who were initially
great at the game because they will be able to perform at a high level. As long as they are showing they
are working hard and completing the activities they are able to get a high.
Each student will also fill out his or her own assessment. They can decide how they feel they have done in
the physical aspect of the unit. They will be filling out the exact same assessment as the teacher.
If the results are very different between the teacher and student then the teacher needs to discuss with the
student why they are different and why they deserve the mark they gave themselves.
