Other details

What other skills could be involved?

Jumping
Perception Skills

Think Quick - what to look out for ....

  • Encourage Smashies to think about how they could leap to complete the High Five.
  • Encourage Smashies to think about reaching as high as possible with their arm.

Mix it Up

- Lower the High Five height so that any Smashie can achieve a touch with an outstretched hand.

+ Have the Smashies run in and jump with a ball in their hand. The Smashie partner also has a ball and the High Five point is scored when the balls touch.

+ Have each Smashie statue hold a piece of equipment (such as a bat or a wicket). The High Five must be made by touching this.
