EQUIPMENT
1 volleyball per student
1 net
Optional: 1 beach ball per 2 students
Optional: 5 short cones
OBJECTIVE
Today we are playing Breakout III. In this game, the objective is to serve using an overhand pattern over a net and free the other prisoners that are held in the prison (behind the end line).
INSTRUCTIONS
I will select two escapees and one prison guard.
The rest of the class will be prisoners.
Before the game begins, prisoners must line up in the prison.
When I say, “GO!” the escapees will overhand serve the ball to the prisoners.
The prison guards will try and block the serves.
Prison guards cannot go into the prison.
When a prisoner catches a ball, he/she can join the escapees.
We will begin a new game once all the prisoners have been freed.
Game 1: Play as indicated above.
Game 2: Increase or decrease the amount of prison guards and/or escapees.
Game 3: To increase difficulty, have prisoners kneel or crouch like a frog instead of stand.
Variation: If serving over the net is too difficult, consider using short cones instead.
Exit Ticket: Students overhand serve the ball over the net for the teacher to catch and put equipment away.
