STORYLINE
Today we are playing Transporters. Your goal is to work with your partner to transport your beach ball without using your hands.
INSTRUCTIONS
I will divide the class into teams of two.
Before the game begins, each pair will line up behind a marker cone.
When I say “GO!” you and your partner must find a way to transport the beach ball without using your hands from the baseline to the end line and back.
All team members must have a body part that is touching the beach ball.
If the ball touches the ground at any point you must start over.
We will start a new game once everyone has made it back to the baseline.
Game 1: Have each team transport the beach ball using only their arms (but not their hands).
Game 2: Have each team transport the beach ball using only their legs.
Game 3: Have each team transport the beach ball using only their backs.
Game 4: Have each team transport the beach ball using only their heads.
Game 5: Have each team transport the beach ball using only their elbows.
Variation: Add some objects and challenges they need to move around.
TEACHING TIPS
Remind the kids to keep encouraging teammates to try their best and show great sportsmanship.
