· ALL, Fitness, Gr 2, Gr 3, Gr 4, Gr 5, Gr 6, Gr 7, Gr 8, Outdoor, Small Group, Warm-up

Grade level: 2-8
Equipment: Any type of ball
Game Description: Fitness Ball Run is a fitness warm-up type activity that’s simple to set-up and simple to do! Players start by forming a line. That line will jog throughout the playing area. While they jog, they pass a ball back from person to person, and when it gets to the last person in line, that person sprints up to the front with the ball, and becomes the new leader. The game continues like that for a certain amount of time.
