Common misconception
Pupils fail to react to the commands as they aren't concentrating. Pupils run out of the space to avoid being caught by the sharks. Sharks give up when they can't catch a fish.
Remind pupils why it is important to focus in a game. Reiterate the consequences of running off the court or pitch in a game. Explain the importance of defenders stopping the attackers in a game and why we must speed up when we are defenders too.
