CAPTURE THE BASKETBALL
|
|
| State Standard: 1, 2, 3, 5 |
| 8 basketballs, & 8 hula-hoops, colored Jersey’s, & Noodles |
Grade:3-5 |
| Purpose: Cardiovascular, dribbling, dodging |
| Time: 15-25 Minutes |
| Organization: Students will sit around the middle circle while I explain the rules to the game. I will then split the students into two teams and hand out colored jersey’s.
Capture the Basketball:
- Each team scatters on one side of the basketball court. Behind each team is an end zone that contains four basketballs, one in each hoop.
- The object of the game is to cross the center safety line without getting tagged and enter the baseline area. Once inside the baseline area, the player must obtain a ball without getting tagged. Once a player has obtained a basketball (before being tagged) the player will then attempt to dribble the ball back across the center-line and then place with the other basketballs in their team’s end zone. ball in one of their hula-hoops. If the players stops dribbling the ball before they reach their side the ball MUST be returned.
- If a player is tagged while in the opponent’s side (before they have grabbed a basketball) he/she must return to their end zone and attempt to steal (capture) a basketball again.
- The game is over when one team has all eight balls in the hula-hoops in their teams end zone or the most balls at the end of a designated time period.

| Concerns: Be Careful when tagging and moving safely within general space. |
