Standard Grade PE Revision Activities Brannock High School

In your Standard Grade PE class, you will cover six different activities. However, you need to be able to answer questions on a wide range of activities. To do this, link the knowledge you have in one activity to another activity that you might not know about. For example, there may be activities that are similar in the types of skills that they use or the movements that the players make: Football and Hockey are similar because they are both passing/shooting games with 11 players, mostly played outside

Think of some more activities that are similar – they might use the same equipment, are played on the same type of area, or use the same skills/techniques. Write down five sets of similar activities in your notes……….. Describe why you think they are similar……………

Activities can be classified in terms of how many people are taking part. They can fall into three categories: Activities where you compete on your own e.g. 100m Shot Putt Activities where you compete with others e.g. Badminton Basketball Hockey Activities that can be both individual and team e.g. Badminton (singles /doubles)

Make three columns in your jotter. Label them: Individual Activities Team Activities Can be both Work with a partner. Write down as many activities as you can think of under each of these headings.

Activities can also be classified into why people take part in them. There are two main categories for this: Activities where you take part with the object being to win Activities where you take part just for fun/enjoyment Activities where you can impact on your opponent’s actions e.g. Hockey Activities where you have no impact on your opponent’s actions e.g. Javelin

Make three columns in your jotter. Label them: Non Competitive Activities Directly Competitive Activities Indirectly Competitive Activities Work with a partner. Write down as many activities as you can think of under each of these headings.

Activities can also be classified into the way the activities are scored. There are two main categories Objective Scoring When the result is decided by FACT – goals, points, tries for example. Subjective Scoring When the result is decided by OPINION – a mark or grade is awarded on the performance by a judge or panel of judges

Activities have rules that must be followed. There are two types of rules: Rules which are in the rule book and must be followed by everyone Activities which don’t appear in the rule book – these are concerned with fair play e.g. In football, outfield players are not allowed to use their hands to play the ball e.g. In badminton, if the shuttle lands on your side of the court, pick it up and give it back to your opponent

Written/Unwritten Rules For example, in Football: WRITTEN RULETacklingWhen challenging for possession, you need to play the ball and avoid having your feet raised off the ground with studs showing WRITTEN RULEOffsideAttacking players in the attacking half of the pitch must have at least one defender between them and the goalkeeper when in an active position
