Elementary PE Brainbooster

○ Touching the pole ○ Catch or “carry” the ball (modifications below) ● If the game is lasting too long, students can either:

○ Count hits (20 hits total) and whoever has the rope twisted in their direction is the winner. ○ Count to 30 and both players leave the game or play RSB and the winner stays. Review how to hit the ball and safely stand in the game. ● Stand towards the edge of the circle, ready to move towards the ball. ● Hands are up and ready: they can block the ball to protect themselves.

Practice andPlay

Remind students who are waiting in line to cheer for players.

Modification: ● Have students practice hitting back and forth, trying to get up to a number as a team. ● Younger ages can catch and throw the ball.
