STORYLINE
Today we are playing Roller Ball. Your goal is to jump for height to keep from being hit by a roller ball by (fuzzy ball) and be the last jumper remaining.
INSTRUCTIONS
Before the game begins, line up on the baseline shoulder-to-shoulder.
I will select one or more students to be the rollers (throwers).
Rollers must remain in the roller zone when throwing/rolling.
If you are hit below the waist or go out-of-bounds, you have to join the rollers for the next round.
All hits must be below the waist and there are no headshots and no neck shots allowed.
We will begin a new round, once everyone has made their way to the end line or the baseline.
The rollers may only leave their zone to retrieve balls in between rounds, but never during a round.
We will start a new game once there is one jumper left.
Game 1: Teacher is the first roller and referee.
Game 2: Allow jumpers to go between the baseline and end line on their own until all balls have been rolled.
Variation: Add obstacles on the field (tall cones, short cones, etc.) for jumpers to jump over.
Exit Ticket: Students perform three jumps for height before stepping in line to go back to class.
