Grade Level: 3-5
Equipment: two to four twin sheets, four to six medium size balls (volleyballs, soccer balls, foam balls, etc.) totaling two more than the number of sheets, one or two 32-50 gallon trashcans, 4-6 cones
Objective(s): enhances speed, hand-eye coordination, and teamwork
Area Played: large area, outside or inside, grassy or hard
Needs 20-36 players per team, at least four players per sheet. Two trashcans should be used with more than 30 players on a team. Divide class in half, and have each team count off by 3 or more than the number of sheets used for each team. On-deck group 2 waits behind cone 1. On-deck group 1 waits behind cone 2. Sheet 1 is located between cones 2 and 3. Sheet 2 is between cones 3 and 4. Sheet 3 is between cones 4 and 5. The trashcans are beyond cone 6. The groups holding the sheets should have one person at every corner, and the players holding the sides. Two people should hold each trashcan. One ball is placed on each sheet, and one ball is given to each of the on-deck groups (total of 5 balls). At the given cue, players holding sheet 1 throw the ball to sheet 2, using the sheet. Sheet 2 is supposed to catch the ball in the sheet, and then throws the ball to sheet 3, who also catches it in the sheet. Sheet 3 then throws the ball high enough in the air towards their designated trashcan so that the ball can be caught in the trashcan. Players then rotate: players at sheet 1 move to sheet 2 almost immediately after throwing the ball; players at sheet 2 move to sheet 3 after catching the ball; players at sheet 3 move to the trashcans after catching the ball sent from sheet 2; players at the trashcans run with the ball to replace on-deck group 2 after catching the ball; meanwhile, on-deck group1 has now placed its ball on sheet 1 and is in position to throw the ball to sheet 2; on-deck group 2 moves with the ball to replace on-deck group 1.
Points are kept in this manner: 5 points for a ball caught on the fly; 3 points for a ball caught after 1 bounce; 1 point for a ball caught after bouncing twice.
If a ball falls to the ground, sheet players must use their feet to get it back on the sheet. A ball must be caught by every sheet before it is caught in a trashcan. Balls must be thrown from the sheets, not poured. Sheet players must stay in their individual boundaries. Each trashcan player must have at least one hand on the trashcan when catching a ball, or else no points are awarded. Trashcan players cannot touch the balls, and they must also sty in their boundaries.

Terminator
Grade Level: 4-5
Equipment: bases set up like in baseball, hula hoops, targets (barrel, net, or hoop), balls
Objective(s): enhance throwing, catching, and cooperation
Area Played: large area outside
Divide the class up into groups of four. Each group will play their own game. Each group has 1 thrower, 2 outfielders, and 1 terminator. The terminator stands on the pitcher’s mound in a hula hoop. He/she must have at least one foot in the hoop at all times. The target must be 15 feet from the terminator (or closer for younger children). The thrower throws the ball to anywhere in the field (preferably open spaces) and runs to all 4 bases until the fielders throw the ball to the terminator, who then throws it to the target (and must actually hit the target, or else the runner can continue running). Score is kept by how many bases the thrower reached before getting out by the terminator hitting the target with the ball. After one thrower has a turn, the players switch positions.

Titanic Challenge
Grade Level: 3-5
Equipment: 4 hula hoops
Objective(s): enhance cooperation and teamwork skills
Area Played: medium size area, inside or out
Discuss how important it is to work together. Students will be split up into groups of 6 or less. The area each group is in is their sinking ship. They must figure out a way to get everyone across to another area, using only the hoops (the life boats). They must do it as quickly as possible. They can only step in the hoops and can pick up the hoops, but only empty ones. Hoops cannot be dragged or tossed. If a group is in a life boat and someone steps out, everyone in that boat must return to the ship and start over. Before they start, give each group 1-2 minutes to brainstorm. Each member must contribute one suggestion. Tell them they have 5 minutes to complete the task. Afterwards, they must share their findings.

Jump Rope Around the World
Grade Level: 4-5
Equipment: enough jump ropes for every student, stopwatch, a map
Objective(s): achieve target heart rate and fitness
Area Played: large area indoors
Each student gets a jump rope and five “lives.” Students must be timed while they jump rope. When they miss the rope for the fifth time, they must go to another area of the room and keep jumping. If they continue jumping until ten people get in their area, each person earns 100 points for their team or 1000 points total for the class. Once 10 students are in the area, the stopwatch is stopped. The class gets credit for 1000 miles on the map for every minute that they jumped. Each class has a hot air balloon made out of paper that is moved along on the map as they go. Extra credit mileage: one jumper that has no more lives but continues jumping is given a hand-held pulse monitor. If their heart rate is between 150-180, then they have achieved the target heart rate. They earn a bonus 1000 miles for the class. This shows that they don’t have to go as fast as they can to get the target heart rate.

Disc Golf
Grade Level: 4-5
Equipment: six “holes,” half the number of Frisbees as there are students, score cards
Objective(s): improve Frisbee throwing skills
Area Played: gym or large field outside
Six holes should be set up around the area. Students will play each hole twice. Randomly form groups of 2. Each group starts at a different hole and will eventually play each hole twice. One person in every group is the score keeper. Students play the holes, and the ones that throw the Frisbee the farthest away from the hole will go first on the next round, continuing until everyone has scored. Through this activity students learn how to throw the Frisbee most effectively; they also learn patience and how to take turns and work together.

Objective(s): improves cooperation and working together
Area Played: gym
Divide the class into groups around each mat. Each group should elect a captain who will count to execute each challenge.
Lifting the mat: lift the mat together (only to chest level) and bring it back down.
The drop: lift the mat, and at signal, drop it at the same time, and move out of the way.
The drive around: lift the mat and walk around the gym while holding it up. Teacher should instruct which direction to move.
The pick up: carry the mat over to a student all together; the student lays on top of the mat while everyone else picks it up; make sure the student laying on the mat does not move—promote safety!
The 360: while holding the mat, make a complete 360 turn in one direction, then the other.
The tow truck: half the class lifts up the mat, and the other half goes underneath it on their hands and knees; the mat is gently brought down on to their backs, and they will carry it to the “garage” without dropping it.

Limb Bombardment
Grade Level: 2-5
Equipment: foam balls for ½ to 2/3 the number of players, cones (if needed) to mark boundaries
Objective(s): develops bilateral throwing and kicking skills, agility, hopping, dodging, and crabwalk skills
Area Played: gym
There should be 12 to 20 participants per team and 1 or 2 referees. The balls should all be placed on the sidelines. The players should be in the center of the area until the given cue. At the cue, players run and grab the balls. They then proceed to throw the balls at opponents, chest or below. Once a certain limb of the body is hit, it can no longer be used. Balls must hit opponents without bouncing. If someone catches a ball that was thrown at them, the thrower loses use of a limb of their choice. If one limb is hit twice, the opposite limb can no longer be used. Play should continue for 6 to 8 innings, 3 to 4 minutes each.
