The Australian Sports Commission (ASC) has partnered with
Cricket Australia to develop 8 curriculum-aligned lesson plans
for primary school teachers. These lessons are appropriate for
students in Years 3 and 4. Some games may require teacher
modification to ensure they are accessible for all students. The lesson plans aim to build students’ confidence and
competence to participate in cricket over the 8-week
game-based program. As the activities become more
challenging, students will learn the rules and skills needed
to understand, play and enjoy the sport of cricket.
This resource is based on the Playing for Life and Game
Sense concepts. These contemporary approaches to
teaching and coaching use a game-centred approach
to develop fundamental movement skills for games and
sports. The use of skilled questioning will enable students to
reflect on and refine their movement skills as they progress.
