Activity Suggestions

It is recommended that only one of the suggested activities be carried out

Activity 1 - 🔍 Precision Sports Detectives

> Duration: (60 - 70 minutes)

- Objective: Develop research skills, information synthesis, and communication, promoting teamwork and creativity.

- Description: In this activity, students will become 'detectives' investigating the history, rules, and curiosities of precision sports. Using digital resources, they should create an explanatory video for a fictional YouTube channel, presenting their findings.

- Instructions:

• Divide the class into groups of up to 5 students.

• Each group should choose a precision sport (darts, croquet, curling, golf, billiards, bowling, shooting sports, or archery).

• Groups should research, using phones and computers with internet access, information about the history, rules, main championships, and curiosities of the chosen sport.

• Based on the research, each group should create a script for a maximum 5-minute explanatory video.

• Using their phones, students should record, edit, and finalize the video.

• Videos can be edited using applications like InShot, KineMaster, or other available and easy-to-use software.

• At the end, each group should present their video to the class as if they were launching it on YouTube.

Activity 2 - 🎮 Virtual Precision Sports Championship

> Duration: (60 - 70 minutes)

- Objective: Promote the practice of precision sports digitally, fostering motor skills, strategic thinking, and teamwork.

- Description: Students will participate in a virtual precision sports championship, using simulators and digital games related to the studied sports. The activity will be gamified to increase engagement and promote healthy competition.

- Instructions:

• Divide the class into groups of up to 5 students.

• Each group should choose a precision sport that has an available digital game or simulator (e.g., golf, billiards, bowling, archery, etc.).

• Groups should come together and compete against each other in the chosen simulator or game.

• Students can use phones or computers with access to these games. Suggested platforms include: MiniClip, Pogo, or specific apps in mobile app stores.

- Instructions:

• Divide the class into groups of up to 5 students.

• Each group should choose a precision sport.

• Groups should create a fictional account on a social media platform (it can be a simulation using Google Slides, for example) for their 'digital influencer'.

• Students should create varied posts: text, images, short videos (reels), stories, exploring curiosities, techniques, challenges, and interesting information about the chosen sport.

• Groups should use image editing applications (like Canva) and video editing applications (like InShot) to create appealing content.

• Each group should present their posts to the class, simulating the dynamics of a real social network.

• At the end, students can vote on the most creative and informative content.

Feedback

Duration: (15 - 20 minutes)

Group Discussion

🗣️ Group Discussion: After the activities, gather all students for a group discussion. Use the following script as a basis to introduce the discussion:

'Now that you have all had the chance to explore various precision sports in a practical and digital way, let's share what we learned. Each group will have a few minutes to talk about the discoveries they made, the difficulties they faced, and the strategies they used to create the videos, compete in virtual championships, or create digital influencer content. Let's reflect on how these activities helped us better understand precision sports and how we can apply these lessons in other areas of our lives.'

Reflections

1. 🤔 Reflection Questions: 2. What were the biggest challenges your group faced during the activities? 3. How did you solve the problems encountered throughout the process? 4. What was the most fun or interesting part of the activities for your group?
