EQUIPMENT

Bulk Volleyballs

Blindfolds/Bandanas

Cones

PREFACE
The object of the game is to collect more volleyballs than the other teams

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Have each team ready and listening to instructions.

  • Each team will assign 1-3 “finders” depending on group size

    • These finders will be blindfolded and try to find as many volleyballs as they can using the word “Marco” to ask for directions

    • The rest of the team will be guiding them only shouting “Polo” and leading them to each ball

  • Once a ball has been picked up by a finder, another teammate can take it for them to their team’s designated area

  • When time is up, count how many balls each team has

 

Variation: Use different sized objects so there is levels of difficulty

Variation: Smaller objects are worth more points

 

TEACHING TIPS

  • Make sure no one is peeking or uses words other than Marco or Polo
