Pizza Delivery
|
|
State Standard: 1, 2, 3, 5 |
Equipment: 20 Hula Hoops, Several Gator-Skin Balls, & Cones (if needed) |
Grade: K-3 |
Purpose: Rolling, Running, & Cooperative Learning |
Time: 15-25 Minutes |
Organization: Students will sit around the middle circle while I explain the rules to the game. Split the class up into 2 teams.
- Pick 2 students to be the pizza delivery person before the games starts.
- In this game students are required to “roll” the gator-skin balls “pepperonis” across the gym floor to the hula-hoops “pizzas.” The students goal is to have the pepperoni stay inside the pizza (hula-hoops).
- If the ball stays in the hula-hoops the pizza delivery person brings that pizza (hula-hoop) up to me (teacher) and I put it on my cart.
- The game is over when one team gets all their pepperonis in the 10 pizzas.
Rules:
- No guarding or blocking the balls.
- No touching a ball that is STILL rolling (Kindergarten does struggle with this).
- Variation: if Kindergarten students keep “touching” the balls that are rolling I just have the students rolling it back to the other team.
|
Concerns: Be Careful when running around the gym and making sure students are fighting over the balls (learning how to share). |
