Homeschool Resource Basketball Lesson Plan for children of all ages.
Day one: Have your student chose which player they want to learn more about. Charlie has chosen Stephen Curry.
Ask them to write down 3 questions they want to learn about this person.
I asked Charlie to research Stephen through books, the Internet, and Youtube and to write a report.
Stephen Curry: The Inspiring Story of One of Basketball’s Sharpest Shooters
Stephen Curry: The Children’s Book: The Boy Who Never Gave Up
Have your children write Top 5 Reasons I Admire about the Basketball person there studying
Reading Homework:
Visit your local library and pick out a Book on the player you’re studying and write out a Book Report on him.
Include in the Book Report a picture of something you learned.
Art: Have your children draw something about Basketball they admire
Once Charlie finishes with his art lesson we went outside to play a Pick-Up Game of Basketball and I had him show me some of the moves Stephen uses when playing in a Basketball Game.
PE
Find a Basketball Game and play a Game of Horse with your students.
Comprehension Questions:
- Where was the basketball player your studying born?
- What position does your player play in Basketball?
- Have they won any championships and if so, how many, when and which ones?
- Has the player your studying help a charity if so which one and why?
- Do they play any other sports?
