Mountains & Valleys
Turn over cones faster than the other team.
-
Place cones randomly inside the boundaries of the game.
Some should be right-side up, some should be upside down.
-
Disc cones
Pinnies
-
To have the most cones flipped to your team’s side (Mountain or Valley).
-
Split the team in half, one team is mountains and the other is valleys.
Players try to flip the disc cones to match their team Rightside up= Mountain and Upside down=Valley.
After 1 min. of play, the coach counts how many cones are Mountains and how many are Valleys.
-
If you don’t have enough space for everyone at once, have each team send in 4 players for 1 minute rounds.
-
Pause halfway through to allow teams to discuss strategy
Remind players to be careful not to run into each other
Great opportunity to practice “freeze” with students stopping play abruptly when coach blows the whistle.
