Garbage Tennis Activity
1
st
Round
Each student gets attempts to make a basket in the garbage can in
the
middle
of the room.
2
nd
Round
Each student gets 3 attempts to make a basket in the garbage can
but the garbage can will be
against a wall
3
rd
Round
Each Student gets 4 Attempts but the student is blind folded the
garbage can will still be against the wall.
4
th
Round
Each student will still be blindfolded have 3 attempts but someone
else will be holding the garbage cans.
Why was
round 1 hard?
Why was
Round 2 a little
easier?
After not
doing so well
on the first two
round how did
you feel about
doing the
same thing but
blindfolded.
Was it helpful when the other
students were giving you advice
of where to shoot it when you
were blindfolded.
Why were
people more
successful in
round 4?
How can we
relate this to
goals?
Round 1 Sometimes goals are hard
to reach.
Don’t set unrealistic goals (make them
smart and measureable)
2
nd
Round
The backboard acted like a short term goal, helping you to
accomplish your long term goals. Sometimes we reach some
short term goals and still fall short of the long term ones.
3
rd
round
Losing sight of your goals makes life
difficult
Listening to all the people around is
confusing, so stick to one for guidance.
Round 4
Getting help with goals is a good idea. There is more chance of
success if you work with someone, in Round 4 someone moved
the basket to help them achieve their goals, neither could do it on
their own but working together helped both to achieve their goals.
What is a goal
Plans you make to help you
reach or accomplish
something in the future.
Short Term
Goal
Short-Term Goals: accomplished quickly,
usually
within 1-3 days
EX. Doing dishes, finishing a paper, etc
Don’t give up what
you want most for
what you want right
now!!!
Long Term
Goal
Long-Term Goals: take longer to
accomplish,
possibly within months or even years
EX. Graduating from High school,
getting a job, etc.
Achieving your short-term goals
will help
you reach your long-term goals
