Demonstrate a вЂњtoo softвЂќ, a вЂњtoo hardвЂќ and a correct throw to help the children understand the force needed for the throw.Дivide the children into groups according to how many targets and balls you have.

Show an example of throwing a ball to a target using the underhand throw. The targets can be colored sheets of paper or hand-drawn targets. In advance prepare some targets that can be placed on the wall approximately two meters high. When each child has thrown all three beanbags, they can collect them and give them to the next child in line. If you have three different color hoops and the same color beanbags, then the same color beanbag can be thrown into the corresponding hoop. Give an example of the intensity needed for the throws by showing an example of a вЂњtoo gentleвЂќ, a вЂњtoo hardвЂќ and then a вЂњjust rightвЂќ throw. Using the underhand throw, a beanbag is thrown into each hoop, starting with the nearest hoop.Д®ncourage the children to keep their eyes on the hoop they are aimingВ for and to swing their arm in a relaxed way. The first child stands on a marker or place mat holding one of the three beanbags. Have the children stand in lines, one behind the other, in front of each row of hoops. Have the marker or place mat approximately one meter away from the first hoop. Have three hoops in a row, touching, on the floor in front of each group of children. show moreД®ach group needs three hoops, three beanbags and a marker.Дivide the children into groups according to the number of hoops you have. When practicing the throws, the ball can be thrown through a hoop, at a wall or to an adult. It is important the eyes look where the ball needs to be thrown. The arm movements determine the force and direction of the throw. This throw is best used to gain height or distance. The overhand or overhead throw generates more speed than the underhand throw, which makes catching more challenging. The ball must be held above or behind the head with bent arms, the arms move in an upward, forward direction when throwing. Overhand throw: Practice the arm moments several times before actually throwing the ball. For beginner level thisВ is a safer and slower throw. The hands are situated under and slightly behind the ball. Encourage the children to look where they are throwing and to do a slow controlled throw in an upward, forward direction. The ball is held in front of the body with relaxed arms. Underhand throw: Practice the arm moments several times before actually throwing the ball.
