BOX BALL
Equipment:
Basketballs/soccerballs/nerfballs/ boxes/hula hoops
Level:
1st-6th
Formation:
lines/from 2-4 depending on the class size(side by side)
Rules:
Place a hoop or box at the end of each line. At one end,
place six balls for each team inside the hoop. The object is to pass the
ball one at a time down the line until the balls end up in the other hoop
at the end if the line. Once the first ball is passed keep retreiving the
b-balls one after the other. Nobody may be skipped when the passing is
taking place(hand-off pass). When the last ball is placed in the hoop, the
person at the end of the line becomes the shooter. First shot in the
"basket" wins the first point. The team that finishes the passing first
also scores a point. Now, when the ball starts again, the new shooter is
the other person at the end of the line. Change positions often to ensure
everybody gets to be a shooter.
Variations: Younger students use a lighter ball/ lower the baskets/give
points for hitting the net,backboard or rim/only passing/change pass
