Modified game?

Modified game?

I have got to run a 'TGFU' (teaching games for understanding)cricket session for my degree next week, which basically means i need to run a modified cricket session? I want something a bit different from the normal games such as continious cricket or the lords game?

Dear Alex

Totally understand... the standard games such as non-stop and Lords would be the obvious one's so yo uwant to go with something different.

You next question has to be what 'theme' if any do you incorporate into your session?  Do you focus on batting, bowling, or a fielding based game.

Have a look at my suggested session for a couple of 'different' games for understading you could teach.

Hope they help
