Today’s challenge is called 'Cone Raiders'. This activity will help children develop throwing accuracy towards a set target – a skill that can make all the difference in a match!

Children should set up a group of targets on the floor and aim to hit them by throwing the ball. Every time a target is hit, they can remove it.

Encourage your pupils to give each other feedback so they can beat their personal best.

On Thursday we'll have another video Heather Knight, taking you through the 'Cone Raiders' challenge.

Chance to Shine is a national cricket charity that works in state schools and communities to spread the power of cricket.

STREET CRICKET

Chance to Shine Street cricket is fast, fun and free. It's played with a tapeball and requires no protective equipment. It's cricket's answer to five-a-side football.
Primary schools

Chance to Shine work in state primary schools across England and Wales supporting schools to deliver cricket coaching to their pupils. We teach cricket in primary schools and support teachers with free resources including lesson plans, videos and tips from the professionals.
The challenge

Chance to Shine believes in how the power of cricket can help children from state schools and deprived communities. We know that many children are missing out on the benefits of physical eduction particularly girls, those from a BAME background and from a lower socio-economic background.
