3rd Grade
Handball
Handball is a relatively new sport, and most Elementary kids will not have played it before. Using our Handball lesson plans is a perfect way to demonstrate how we can transfer skills from one sport to the other, still using our throwing, catching, and teamwork skills. The assessment grids below will highlight which students have been able to demonstrate a transfer of skills into a new sport.

More About This Unit
What do our 3rd Grade Handball lesson plans cover?
In Grade 3 Handball, students should continue to develop ball control, improving control when moving around, and increasing the accuracy and control when passing, shooting and receiving.
Our 3rd Grade Handball PE lesson plans improve decision making in game situations, allowing children to make passes and move into good positions to make it difficult for opponents. Children are encouraged to work well with others, communicating and collaborating, whilst being fair and respectful when competing against others.
Why are Handball lessons important for elementary-age children?
Handball lessons play an important role in the elementary school PE curriculum. They provide opportunities for children to use running, jumping, throwing, and catching in game situations, and continue to develop balance, strength, agility, and control. Handball lessons also give children a chance to participate in competitive games, using basic principles suitable for attacking and defending.
Elementary School Handball is also great for promoting values such as respect and for helping children become physically confident and competent to support their health and fitness.
