Rockin’ Rollers

Grade level: 2-8
Equipment: Dodgeballs
Game Description: Rockin’ Rollers is a battle between the runners and the rollers.  Runners try to make it from one end of the gym to the other without getting hit by a dodgeball that has been rolled by the rollers. If a runner gets hit by a ball (in the foot or the leg) he then joins the rolling team!  It’s as simple as that. Great game – another student and teacher favorite!

Quick how to play steps:

1. Half of the players are runners, half are rollers.
2. Rollers form 2 lines along the sides (perhaps along the basketball or volleyball court lines).
3. Rollers get a dodgeball to start.
4. Runners start at the edge.
5. On signal, runners attempt to run to the opposite end without getting hit by a ball.
6. Rollers try rolling the balls at the runners.
7. Any runner hit joins the rolling team.
8. Continue until all runners have been hit then switch roles.
