Frisbee: 33 Activity Cards for Physical Education

These exercise cards bring the Frisbee into physical education. Learners can discover the flight characteristics of the disc. Throwing and catching can be practiced in ever-new situations – jumping, on one leg, on a bench, or after a forward roll. Each card shows at a glance what to do and what is needed.

What is included in the material

• Guidance on lesson planning regarding the objectives, structure, and use of the exercise collection
• Exercise cards with individual exercises: coordination tasks in which the disc is circled, thrown high, and after an additional movement caught again or thrown at targets
• Exercise cards with partner and group exercises: cooperative tasks for throwing and catching, for example while running, with role changes, or against a person trying to prevent the passes

Tips for using the material

• Circuit training or individually: The exercises can be set up as circuit training at stations or performed individually under the teacher's guidance.
• Extension for advanced learners: If an exercise becomes too easy, it can be increased in difficulty using the task extension on each card, for example by increasing the throwing distance, speed, or using the weaker hand.
• Wide range of uses: The cards are suitable for secondary school, upper secondary school, vocational school, and club sports; in particularly sporty primary school classes, some exercises can be used even earlier.

These skills are promoted

• Throwing and catching technique with the Frisbee disc, for example forehand throwing and catching with one hand
• Accuracy by throwing at cones, markers, box parts, and hoops
• Coordination when throwing and catching are combined with additional movement tasks
• Teamwork and coordination when throwing to each other in the partner and group exercises

Organizational notes

In addition to Frisbee discs – one per person in many individual exercises – common gym equipment is used, such as markers, small mats, a box, cones, benches, a soft floor mat, hoops, and a football.

To complement this, there are technique cards for throwing and catching with the Frisbee disc, throwing at targets with the Frisbee disc at stations (Disc-Golf), and individual and partner exercises for throwing and catching at stations.
