Lesson Core - Task 2:

Sharks and Minnows with
soccer dribbling!
Demonstration Plan:
I will ask one of my students
to remind me how to dribble
with pillow feet as an inclusive
demonstration for the rest of
the students.
Questions to Check
Understanding
How to you keep the other
team from stealing your ball?
What happens when the
Sharks do steal your ball?
Adaptations
Students who dislike the
dribbling can volunteer to be a
shark first. Students who think
its too easy can dribble with
their non-dominant foot.
