Skill: Versatility
Drill: Battle Forms
Equipment needed: None
Instructors needed: 1 per Line
Description: Students will work on their VERSATILITY by adding a combination to the form they are doing. This will test them intellectually by adding a combination and keeping up with the one before.
Teaching SKILLZ:
NTRINSIC MOTIVATION – The instructor can give the students a little more time to add onto their form, until their form has ten moves. For this round the instructor can challenge the students to put more variety in their combination and get creative with the moves that they do. This will motivate the students to create a form with their team that they are proud of.
Brain SKILLZ:
WORKING MEMORY – The students must create a form together and perform it in front of the class. This works on their ability to remember information while performing a task, as they have to remember their form that they create with their team.
Step 1
Divide your students into groups.
Step 2 – Setting Up the Drill:
Assign each group space on the mat and an instructor.
Step 3 – Explain the Rules:
  • Students will alternate choosing moves to add onto their creative form.
  • Once they hit 6 moves, they will stop.
  • Each team will show off their 6 move form while trying to stay together.
  • The team that shows the most VERSATILITY will win.
Step 4 – Takeaways:
  • Communicate effectively with your teammates.
  • Be loud so you catch the judge’s attention
  • Continue until for 1 to 2 rounds.
Step 5
  • Be creative and stay away from simple moves that aren’t as impressive as others
