Rotten Pumpkins

SKILL FOCUS

Speed, agility, bowling, catching

GROUP SIZE

6+

EQUIPMENT

10-20 sponge balls (orange ones if you have them)

SETUP

Divide your class into 2 even teams and place each team on one half of the room. Make sure you have a middle line to divide the teams as they are not allowed to go on the opposing team's side. Give each team 5 balls to start off with.

INSTRUCTIONS

1. The objective of this game is to get all the rotten pumpkins (balls) onto the other team's side at the same time.

2. The first team to get all 10 on the other team's side wins that round.

3. On 'go' the students will begin to quickly roll their ball onto the other team's half of the room.

4. When they see a ball coming to them, they cannot kick it, but may quickly pick it up and roll it onto the other team's side.

5. The first team with no balls wins the round.

Make it Easier: 

Use fewer than 10 balls.

Make it Harder:

Use more than 10 balls.
