Volcanos and Ice Cream Cones (Mountains & Valleys)

An intense race to the finish.

    • place as many cones as you have in the middle of the playing space, some right side up, some upside down

    • cones

  • The object of the game is to have the most cones flipped to your team’s side (Ice Cream Cones or Volcanoes).

    1. Split the team in half, one team is Ice Cream cones and the other is Volcanoes.

    2. Players try to flip the disc cones to match their team

      1. Rightside up= Ice Cream Cones and

      2. Upside down=Volcanos

    3. After 1 min. of play, the coach counts how many cones are Ice Cream Cones and how many are Volcanoes

  • ● 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
