GROUP SIZE

8+

EQUIPMENT

10-20 footballs, 4 hula hoops, floor tape.

SETUP

Place the students in 2 traditional relay race lines with each line facing their hula hoop filled with 10 footballs along with a ‘throwing circle’ on floor.

INSTRUCTIONS

1. On ‘go’ the first child in line must run to the pile of footballs, pick up 1 ball and toss it from the throwing circle to the next child in line.  If the ball is caught, the catcher must place the ball in the empty hoop and then run to the pile to start this process again as the first child goes back to the end of the line.

2. If the ball is missed, the child must pick up the missed ball and run with it to the throwing circle and attempt to throw it to the next child in line.

3. The first team to finish and empty all the footballs from their hula hoop wins.

Make it Easier: 

Use fewer balls and shorten the throwing distance.

Make it Harder:

Use more balls and lengthen the throwing distance.
