The
Game
AIM
: To get as many beanbags as possible without getting hit by
the soft balls.
Break
the class up into 4 equal teams.
- 2 teams line up behind empty hoops. 1 team behind each hoop.
- The other teams stand either of the boundary lines.
On
go, 1 child ( from each of team behind the hoops), runs as fast
as they can to the other end to collect a beanbag. They quickly
return to their hoop and PLACE the beanbag inside. This all
has to be done without getting hit by the ball at waist height
or below. If they do get hit on the way up they simply run quickly
back to their team and tag the next person. If they are on their
way back and have a bean bag, they must return the beanbag to
one of the main hoops ( NO throwing ) and quickly tag the next
person in their team.
The
two teams at the side throw the soft balls at the children running
past. Only throws below at or below waist level and thrown from
behind the boundries are effective. Children only have 3 secs
to throw ball.
*
There is a safety zone for runner, the 2 small areas located
between the cones and hoops.
After
an allocated time, bean bags are counted. The running teams
then swap to the throwing position ( and vice versa ).
The
team with the most beanbags win!

This game can also be used to teach game straegies. '
