Assessment
Among the techniques which may be used
are:
• teacher observation: child’s ability to use
space and apply skills in games situation,
interaction with others (teamwork),
understanding of tactics
• teacher-designed task: group work: create
a passing game with a target
Integrate with Gaeilge: when playing
games, vocabulary such as ‘anseo’, ‘cúl’, ‘beir
ar an liathróid’, ‘ná déan é sin’ etc. could be
developed
Follow-up work: this unit could be
developed by using court games, e.g.
tennis, badminton.
• curriculum profile: use teacher observation
to complete curriculum profile.
