STORYLINE
Today we are playing Hula-House Battle II. Your goal is to throw overhand at the opposing team's hula-house to try and knock it down.    

INSTRUCTIONS

  • I will divide the class into two teams.

  • When I say, “GO!” try and throw fuzzy balls at the opposing team’s hula-house.

  • You may not go past the midline cones or the cones surrounding your hula-house.

  • If you get hit from the shoulders and below, you must run a lap around the boundary cones before rejoining your team.

  • You may only have one fuzzy ball in your hand at a time and cannot block shots with the fuzzy balls.

  • Teams get one point if they knock down the opposing team’s hula-house. Five points if they knock down a cone and the hula-house and 10 points if they knock down just a cone.

  • We will begin a new round when either a cone or hula-house gets knocked down.

 

Game 1: Play as indicated above.
Game 2: Hit students must sit down. Add a medic on each team who can save the injured by tagging them.
Game 3: Add a spy on each team who can go to the other side and collect fuzzy balls only.
Variation: Add playground balls. Playground balls can be blocked by a fuzzy ball and only rolled.
Exit Ticket: Students throw a ball overhand to the teacher to put away.
