Study Guides
This pupil-friendly study guide includes a unit summary, clear notes, common mistakes, and quick questions with answers.
Unit Summary
This unit will develop pupils' ability to teach each other and to play a variety of creative cricket games independently. Pupils will draw on their leadership skills to train, compete and perform.
Lesson Summary
You will learn to play as part of a team to combine cricket skills.
Key Notes
- Move: always running anti-clockwise between the four wickets avoids confusion and collisions.
- Think: stakes are high to avoid mistakes as the whole team is out whenever a team accumulates three outs.
- Feel: awareness of when to hit, run and throw to positively affect the game comes with practice.
- Connect: working in a four player team demands strong leadership and communication.
Vocabulary To Learn
- strategise: to carefully plan how to achieve success by making decisions and organising actions
- communication: talking with teammates to call runs, plan tactics, or encourage each other
- anti-clockwise: moving in the opposite direction to the hands of a clock
Common Mistakes To Avoid
- Communication after the ball is hit can be inconsistent in cricket. Having four players to coordinate means the need to communicate clearly about how many runs to make is even more important.

3. Correct this common mistake.
Mistake: Communication after the ball is hit can be inconsistent in cricket. Having four players to coordinate means the need to communicate clearly about how many runs to make is even more important. Correction: Allow pupils time to strategise about how they will communicate after the ball is hit. For example, they may nominate a captain to make all calls or decide that the batter who hit the ball makes the call.
