Teaching Skills using Invisiball (page 162)
The game of Invisiball is a superb tool for teaching attacking, defending, team work and playing by the rules. In this video post, we show what the game looks like in action, as well as how to use the game to teach skills.

A Year of Primary PE
This new book for teachers and coaches offers over 100 indoor and outdoor games that will engage, involve and improve the abilities of every child in your class. Through exciting team games like Noodle Rounders, Sitting Volleyball and Kabaddi, children will practice and develop their movement, sport, people and thinking skills.
Each month focuses on a theme, starting with 'Working Together' in September and 'Thinking of Others' in October. These core social and inclusion skills are built on as the year progresses and serve as essential building blocks for later themes. Later in the year, monthly themes on attacking, defending and being part of a team, help children grow in confidence while taking part in a wide variety of age-appropriate and modified games.
"This is an interactive book of wonders.
Teachers can play with a wide range of activities, pedagogical tools and research links to create inclusive, active and meaningful learning moments in PE"

Senior Lecturer and Course Lead for Primary PGCE (PE Specialism) at St Mary's University, Twickenham
