Keep the Yard Clean
Team game where you try and keep all of the balls on one side of the field.
-
Divide the field in 2 halves using cones
Place equal number of balls on either half of the field
-
2 large jump ropes
-
The goal of the game is for your team to have the least amount of balls on your side when the time is up.
-
1. Divide the players into 2 teams and have teams on opposite end lines of the field.
2. Create a neutral area between the two teams where players cannot step (smaller area for younger players).
3. On “GO” each team will try to keep their “yard” clean by tossing balls across the neutral area. Make sure players are not throwing balls at other students.
4. Have a penalty (maybe 5 balls added to the final score) if a player on the opposite team is hit above the shoulders.
5. After a determined amount of time, stop the game and the team with the fewest amount of balls on their side is the winner.
-
● Play with soccer balls and have the players pass with their feet.
● Play a never ending game where players have to get their yard entirely clean
-
If players accidentally hit another player with the all they should step out and do 5 jumping jacks before joining the game
Keep time and have each round be no longer than 1 minutes
Reflection: Responsible Decision-Making & Self-Awareness
1. This game can be very tiring, what do you do when you are getting tired?
2. How did you decide which balls to grab and where to throw them?
3. Who can you shout out?
