Refereeing signals

Using these resources by Gloucester Rugby Heritage, discuss the role of referees in a game of rugby and explain that, for certain actions on the rugby pitch, the referees make specific signals to the players and spectators. Ask pupils if they know any refereeing signals. Ask pupils to draw what they think the refereeing signals are, Once finished, access the BBC Sport Academy at http://news.bbc.co.uk/sportacademy/bsp/hi/rugby_union/rules/referees_signals/html/default.stm and show the class the current set of Rugby Football Union refereeing signals.
