different materials (wood or metal) and are located in the longitudinal axis of the
field of play The baskets also have a cylindrical shape and
are characterized by the absence of network and any type of material that is located in the
bottom of the basket. The material most used for its manufacture is the wicker, although
also some kind of synthetic material is used, using colors that
contrast with that of the playing surface (usually intense yellow). The
Baskets have a diameter ranging from 39 to 41 cm. and its upper edge is
located at 3,50 m. ground. They are located on the poles, inside the field of play

Two substitutions are allowed per team and always maintaining the same number of players and players. That substituted player will not be able to rejoin the game.
5. Duration of the game
A match of balonkorf lasts 60 minutes, divided in 2 parts of 30 minutes each, with a rest of 10 minutes between both periods. Each team has 2 dead times, 60 sec. each, per party.

It is considered to be ball out in the moment it touches the outside line of the pitch, the ground, a person, the roof or an object that is off the playing field. When some of these situations occur, a «free kick» must be taken against the team that was last touching the ball and in the same place where the ball came from.

En las próximas sesiones vamos a recordar algunos de esos juegos muy antiguos a los que jugaban nuestros abuelos y que, por desgracia, poco a poco van desapareciendo. Verás que algunos de esos juegos te resultan conocidos y que incluso los has practicado. Sin embargo, otros, los desconocerás ya que en los últimos años se está produciendo un excesivo protagonismo de algunos juegos y deportes debido, en parte, a la influencia de la televisión y la publicidad.

Pese a todo lo señalado vas a poder comprobar lo divertidos que resultan estos juegos y además vamos a hacernos una idea de cómo se divertían antiguamente. Veremos también algunos aspectos que van unidos a estos juegos (costumbres, tradiciones, canciones que los acompañan, etc.).

Los juegos de este tipo que vamos a recordar son muy variados:

– Hay muchos juegos de carrera como las carreras con pies juntos, a la pata coja, de carretilla, de burros, policía y ladrones, marro, la cadena, las 4 esquinas, la araña, el cortahilos, la peste,……

– Son también numerosos los juegos de esconderse, entre los que podemos citar el escondite, el bote-bote, carabi-caraba, el chocolate inglés, ……

– De todos son conocidos los juegos de saltos como el de “a la una ……”,el correcalles, el llamado chorro morro, churro o también burro con el conocido “churro, media manga, manga entera o patatón” o formulas similares.

This unit explores the use of self – made material as a resource to enhance the possibilities of the Cooperative Learning model. The process of constructing and sharing equipment fosters the five critical elements of Cooperative Learning in physical education. When students are asked to build a piece of equipment with their mates or parents, they are guided into a face – to – face interaction process. Consequently, interpersonal skills are developed through group processing in order to solve contingencies. The challenge of the task implies individual accountability, because students must create low – cost, efficient equipment for the group. Once built, these self – made material can be integrated in physical education sessions like conventional equipment, with all the advantages that the process of construction has generated (creativity, active learning, students centred – learning, social learning).

In today´s sustainability – oriented curriculum the mantra is reduce, reuse and recycle in every aspect of our life. Over the past forty years, different authors have worked on the idea of employing ´use or old´ materials to create equipment for physical education or recreation. All them were talking about ´found´, ´throw away´, ´non – traditional´ or ´recycled´ material that are not difficult to adapt and use in physical education.

With this in mind, the first pillar of this ´homemade´ approach to physical education equipment is the idea of raising ecological awareness in the school community. Thus, the goal would be to increase the student´s consciousness of the physical environment, so they could become sustainability – oriented.

The second pillar of this approach is the scarcity and over cost of materials in physical education as a result of limited budgets. It is considered that activities are often inequitably chosen due t the absence of material resources, which in turn, affects students and their movement experiences. Therefore, the quantity and quality of a school´s equipment can detrimentally influence the excellence of its physical education curriculum. Moreover, in many cases, large classes and the lack of enough equipment prevent children from having time to practice and improve their psychomotor skills.

With this Unit, Students will:
• construct their own materials.
• get physical exercise as they learn about local recycling efforts.
• learn about the importance of recycling.
• raise ecological awareness as social values.
• understand that money doesn´t mean everything.

In order to develop this unit, students must build these materials. To make easier the comprehension, materials are described in spanish language.

Suaviball: Bote de suavizante, lejía o detergente que tenga asa. Se recorta la parte de abajo del envase para que quede un hueco en esa parte. Hay que pulir la zona cortada y decorarlo.

Pelotas: Introducir arroz en una bolsa. Meter esa bolsa en un globo y luego en otro globo. Poner cinta aislante alrededor de los globos para evitar posibles roturas.

Bolos: Con botellas de plástico decoradas. Introducir la misma cantidad de arena en todas.

Juego de los aros: Sobre una base se pega un cartón de papel de cocina. Posteriormente, se decora. Los aros pequeños se pueden realizar recortando cartones o platos de cocina de plástico.
