Snow Shovel Cleanup

SKILL FOCUS

Gross Motor, Endurance

GROUP SIZE

8+

EQUIPMENT

50 small sponge balls, 2 large hula hoops, a hockey or lacrosse stick for each kid.

SETUP

Divide your class into 2 teams and spread them out all over the room.  Assign a hula hoop for each team.  Spread small sponge balls all over the room and give each child a hockey stick.

INSTRUCTIONS

1. On ‘go’ the children have to clean up the snow (balls) by shoveling them (hockey stick) to their team’s hula hoop.

2. Each child may only get 1 ball at a time.

3. The contest ends when all the balls are in the hula hoops.

4. Whichever team captures the most balls wins.

Make it Easier: 

Use fewer balls so the rounds go quicker.  Give each team two hula hoops which makes it easier to fill up.

Make it Harder:

Use more balls and smaller hula hoops to make it more challenging.
