3 Ball

Game Description: Here’s a new and really unique and fun dodgeball game idea from Steve Mercado (Game of the Year at his school, thanks Steve!). Very interesting strategies involved, awareness is key. Be the last player standing in 3 Ball.

Bounce Ball

Endzone Escape

Pirate Ships


Grade level: 1-6
Equipment: Cones, hula hoops, beanbags
Game Description: This one is a new favourite. A little bit of a Capture the Flag feel to it – groups of pirates work together to try and steal the treasure off of the defender ship. NON-STOP ACTION, players really move in this great game idea thanks to Deric Hafer.
