Feed Oscar

Feed Oscar

State Standard: 1, 2, & 3
Equipment: 4 Folding Mats, several yarn balls, & cones	Grade: K-2
Purpose: Check throwing skills, opposite foot forward
Time: 15-25 Minutes
Directions: Stand mats on end, Velcro them together (Oscar’s Can) and stand them up inside the red circle in the gym Start with 2 kids inside Oscar’s Can (for little students, kindergarten, I put 3-4 in at a time, or I run out of time!): All the other kids will throw balls inside the can Kids may only have 2 BALLS in their hand at a time, Kids May NOT go inside the red circle, No “Dunking” I play for about one seconds, and pick two new kids to put inside.
Concerns: Kids getting hit with balls inside “Oscar” have them duck down, and use Soft balls Yarn ball work nice.
This idea is from: Tracy Nelson, former K-5 PE Teacher, Brookings, SD.
