Basketball Golf: Grades 3-5

This week, grades 3-5 are working on basketball skills through an activity called Basketball Golf.  Imagine golf scoring combined with basketball shooting.  Lines are taped on the floor near different baskets, labeled #1-18.  The lines are our "holes".  Students are in partners, and take turns shooting from the "holes".  Scoring partner records how many shots it takes for their shooting partner to make a basket from a hole.  The maximum score on any hole is five.  Students are encouraged to use proper shooting technique, with the BEEF acronym to help with form:  Balance, Eyes, Elbow, Follow Through.
"Hole" #18
