The lesson that would follow this warm-up would be part of our soccer unit. The students will have been dodging, paying attention to location of taggers, freeing teammates and passing the beanbags with their feet/ blocking beanbags with their feet. All of these skills would be part of the skills required for a mini game of soccer. Directly following the game would be some practice passing and dribbling the ball before going on to play a mini game of soccer.
