- Figure 2 shows that the starting point for four year olds is 1 meter and for five year olds it is 2 meters.
Methodology and Development
- Figure 2: Children line up on the 2-meter line and the child whose turn it is moves 1 meter forward to play with the ball. After playing with the ball, they give it to the next person in line and go to the back of the line.

- Figure 4: Spread your feet and push the ball out with both hands.
- Figure 5: Spread your feet wide and push the ball back with both hands.
- Fig. 6: Hit the ball with your fist.
- Fig. 7: The ball bounces once on the ground before catching it again.
- Figure 8: Throw the ball at the wall, bounce it back and catch it.
- Figure 9: The teacher gently puts the ball down and the children run to kick it.
- Figure 10: Two players pass the ball to each other and then kick the ball towards the goal.
- Throwing Practice: As shown in Fig. 1, the ball should be thrown over the height of the throw line, and the distance should be increased from a close distance.
- Catch the bouncing ball as much as possible and hit the target: Choose a triangle as the target and shoot the ball into the target, gradually increasing the distance from a close distance.
Guidance Notes
- Whether you are throwing or catching the ball, start according to each child's ability and gradually increase the distance as you become more familiar.
- In addition to class time, children can also practice more during free time.
- Work in 4 rows at the same time to match your child's ability to save time and increase efficiency.
