STORYLINE
Today we are playing Floating Fortress. Your goal is to sink the enemy's floating fortress (tall cones) before they sink yours. Remember, we are working together in this game to help us create a community.
INSTRUCTIONS
I will divide the class into two teams.
Each team will have a fortress (10 tall cones) behind them.
When I say, "GO!" start throwing balls at the other team’s fortress to try and knock it over.
If a cone is knocked down you cannot put it back up.
You can only throw inside your team's boundary cones.
You can only catch thrown balls from the other team. You may not use your body to block shots.
You may only have one ball in your hand at a time.
At any point, you may retrieve balls that go past your boundary cones.
We will begin a new game when one team's cones are all knocked down.
Game 1: Play as indicated above. Students cannot block throws with fuzzy balls.
Game 2: Students can block throws with fuzzy balls.
Game 3: Students must spread their fortress around three sides.
