Edison
 Basketball Station Rotation

      Introduction to the Four Games:

  • Each wall is set up to accomodate a basketball game that includes all of the members of a color team (6-8 students)
  • Wall One: Guard the Pin: has a foam target and basketball or playground ball.
  • Wall Two: Quadball Station
  • Wall Three: Triple Shot Basketball
  • Wall Four: Group Juggle
  • Team of players are set up at the corners and lines outside of a four square floor design.
  • The first player passes a ball to someone across from them (Note: not next to them unless the last player)
  • The second player passes the ball to someone across from them.
  • This continues until everyone has the ball at least one time.
  • It is important to remember who passes you the ball and who you will be passing to.
  • REMINDER: Do not watch the ball - watch the person that passes you the ball.
  • After your team can successfully pass the ball in a continuous fashion, the starter may add another ball.
  • Additional balls can continue to be added as long as the team is successful.

   Activity:

  • After a teacher led demonstration of each game, each color team starts the activity that is on their color team wall.
  • After three to four minutes at each game/activity the teacher indicates that this game is over and the teams rotate clockwise to the next wall.
