Grades 3rd and up
Equipment: 10-20 soft balls that can't hurt when
thrown
How to play: Divide the class into two even teams.
One side will be the "rebel" fort and the other is the
"imperial" fort. The teams cannot cross the middle line. Choose two
"Jedi"s for each team. This game is played by throwing the balls at
the other team. If someone is hit by the ball, they are to sit down in that
spot until one of the two Jedis (who the other team is constantly trying to
figure out) comes and taps them so they can re-enter the game. If a ball is
caught, then they student who threw the ball must do the same. However, if a
Jedi is hit by the ball, or even touches the ball acidentally, he loses his
powers and sits to the side for one minute. After this time, he can re-enter
as only a normal player (can't revive other students). The object of the game
is to make the other teams Jedis lose their powers and hit every player on the
other team. Once all of the players are down, the game is over.
