Silent Ball

· ALL, Fun, Gr 2, Gr 3, Gr 4, Gr 5, Gr 6, Gr 7, Gr 8

Grade level: 2-8
Equipment: Ball
Game Description: This game is actually best saved for the classroom, when the gym is unavailable or for an indoor recess kind of thing. It’s a target throwing game where students will stay in the game as long as they stay successful with their throws and catches. There’s a twist though – they also must stay silent the entire time, and they also must stay standing on their chairs. The activity level isn’t very high, however, it’s a fun idea that has students use non-verbal communication skills as well as throwing and catching skills. A student favourite when it comes to classroom games.

Continuous Badminton

· ALL, Gr 4, Gr 5, Gr 6, Gr 7, Gr 8, Net

Grade level: 4-8

Game Description: Just like the name says, this activity gives players a continuous chance to practice their badminton skills – speed shots, forehand, backhand, serving, clearing, smashing, rallying, footwork, etc. It’s a simple rotation to keep the flow going no matter what skill students are working on. It also matches students up with different random partners every time.

Game Description: Steal The Bacon is a classic game. Two teams face off with the goal of trying to earn points each round by stealing the bacon in the middle and bringing it back to their own team without getting tagged. There is room for variation in this game as you see fit; perhaps add in some math equations where the answer to the problem is the number of the players who run! Read More →
