Objectives (5 minutes)

  1. Understanding Handball: The teacher must ensure that the students understand what handball is, its basic rules, its origin, and its importance as a team sport.

  2. Knowledge of Theoretical and Practical Aspects: The teacher must ensure that the students are able to identify the main characteristics of handball, both in theory and in practice. This includes understanding the different types of passes, player movements, field positions, and how to score and prevent goals.

  3. Development of Motor Skills: The teacher must encourage students to practice and improve their motor skills related to handball. This can be done through practical activities in the classroom, such as practicing passes and throws.

Secondary Objectives:

  • Promote Cooperation and Teamwork: The teacher should encourage students to work together during practical activities, promoting cooperation and team spirit, which are fundamental aspects of handball.

  • Stimulate Interest in the Sport: In addition to teaching the skills and rules of handball, the teacher should also try to arouse students' interest in the sport, showing its cultural and physical importance.

Introduction (10 - 15 minutes)

  1. Review of Previous Concepts: The teacher should start the lesson by reminding students about the importance of sports in society, the benefits of sports practice, and the relevance of teamwork. This can be done through a brief discussion in the classroom (5 minutes).

  2. Problem Situations: The teacher should present two situations to the students:

    • Situation 1: 'Imagine you are playing a team sport and need to pass the ball to your team members. How would you do this effectively and quickly?' This situation aims to arouse students' curiosity about the importance of passes in handball.

    • Situation 2: 'Suppose you are playing a team sport, and the goal is to score goals. However, the opposing team is moving quickly to prevent you from scoring. What would you do to overcome this defense?' This situation aims to introduce the idea of how to score goals in handball, even in the face of a strong defense (5 minutes).

  3. Contextualization of the Subject's Importance: The teacher should explain to the students that handball is a very popular sport in several countries, including Brazil. Additionally, mention that practicing this sport contributes to the physical and social development of individuals, strengthening cooperation, communication, and the ability to make quick decisions (3 minutes).

  4. Capturing Students' Attention: To capture students' attention, the teacher can share some curiosities about handball. For example:

    • Curiosity 1: Handball was created in Denmark and Sweden in the late 19th century as an alternative to football during the winter. The ball used was made of rags, and the first rules were very different from the current ones.

    • Curiosity 2: Beach handball, a variant of handball played on the sand, was introduced at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta. It is a very popular sport in Brazil, which has already won several medals in international competitions.

    After the curiosities, the teacher should introduce the lesson topic: 'Today, we will learn about handball, a sport that requires physical and mental skills, such as strategy, coordination, and agility. Additionally, we will practice some basic handball movements so that you can experience the dynamics and fun of this sport' (2 - 3 minutes).

Development (20 - 25 minutes)

  1. Theory: Handball Rules (8 - 10 minutes)

      3. Use of hands: the ball must be played with the hands, and the use of feet is not allowed.
      4. Goal finalization: the goal is validated when the ball completely crosses the goal line, below the crossbar and between the posts.

    • Objective: The teacher should propose that students reflect individually on what they learned in the lesson. This allows students to internalize the knowledge acquired and identify any areas they do not yet fully master.
    • Method: The teacher should ask questions like:
      1. 'What was the most important concept you learned today?'
      2. 'What questions have not been answered yet?'
    • The teacher should give a minute of silence for students to reflect on these questions. Then, students can share their answers if they wish.
  4. Feedback and Closure (1 minute)

    • Objective: The teacher should end the lesson by providing a summary of the main points discussed and reinforcing the importance of handball as a sport.
