Castleball 2.0


Grade level: 3-8
Equipment: balls, hula hoops, cones
Game Description: Another winning idea from Deric Hafer. As a variation to the original Castleball game (one of the best games there is) the modifications in this game make for another super fun, skill-building, and action-packed game. Set-up the castles, choose the roles, launch the cannon balls, and build together. There’s something for everyone!

And they will soon realize that if they work together, they will accomplish the task quickly and effectively!
