2 Not Going If you are NOT going on the fieldtrip, please take a Yatzhee / Senet Game, pieces and instructions to the other classroom, and play at least one round. You may work on other classwork quietly if you finish early. Otherwise, we are heading out to try some Disc Golf!

4 D4 Bellringer! What type of medium would you consider disc golf to be? Explain: What about Yahtzee? Explain why: Can you give an example of other games that fit into these medium types?

The one that we focused on yesterday and today are physical games / sports.

5 Physical Games and Sports As mentioned yesterday, there are many different types of mediums, or forms of games. The one that we focused on yesterday and today are physical games / sports. There are many types of physical games / sports. Can you identify some? Examples: Baseball Basketball Football Soccer & one of my favorites Disc Golf!

6 Physical Games, Continued Often involve athletic activities, with special equipment (balls, nets, sticks, etc.) Usually the game revolves around one or two specific physical actions, and you are rewarded for skillfully performing those actions. Soccer for example revolves around dribbling, passing, and shooting the soccer ball into a net or to or past other players. The field of play is often quite important, etc.

sharper on the edge, lighter, but still has some weight to it).

7 Disc Golf Disc Golf evolved out of regular old golf, and is a lot cheaper and easier for more people to play than the original. Here s an intro to the sport: VID 3/ 4 main types of discs: Putter (rounded, flat and heavier), for short distances (usually to the hole / cage) (50 ft or less) Mid-Range (a bit sharper on the edge, lighter, but still has some weight to it). Easier to control than drivers, doesn t go as far (~ ft) Driver (thinner, lighter, for long distances) Fairway: good for most longer throws, a bit more stable than the distance type. Start with one of these ( ft) Distance: lightest, sharpest type. Best for long holes, but require higher speeds and force to throw. Most don t begin with these ( ft)

pointed down) Forehand: Used almost as much, a bit harder to master.

8 Throwing Three types of main throws: Backhand: Used most often, most accurate for most players. If you use your right hand, it will bend away at the end towards the left, if thrown flat or hyzer (away end pointed down) Forehand: Used almost as much, a bit harder to master. If thrown right handedly and flat or hyzer, it will bend the other way, opposite the backhand. A driver, if allowed to go far enough, can also come back the other way in an S shape.

9 Scoring: You want to get the LOWEST score, and each throw counts as a point. You move onto the next hole after making it into the basket. I ll keep track of everyone s score today on the Udisc app just 5 bucks a year, if you like disc golfing, totally worth it

10 Practice So I know that many of you didn t get to go on our fieldtrip sadness! So, we are going to create our own disc golf course! The rules will be the same as regular disc golf, but we will use crates instead of regular baskets. But for our purposes, it s fine You can do the course with others, or there will be one basket to practice on. Now let s go have some fun! One we finish, we ll introduce you to bocce!

11 Afterwards Make sure to fill out a Game Analysis Paper, so that we can talk about it afterward
