Slammer

Setup and Equipment:

• One soft ball per student
• Twenty pins are lined up on the black lines in front of the opposing walls
• Break class into two teams
• The dividing line in the middle of the gym cannot be crossed (unless going to the slammer)
• Each team has twenty pins to protect
• The object of the game is to knock down all of the pins on the opposite end
• After they teams are picked the targets are set up and players sit in front of the targets to start the game.
• It works best to pick a couple of students to begin setting up the targets while the rules are covered and the teams set.
• The teacher will spread out fifteen to twenty soft foam balls on the middle line of the gym while the players are sitting in front of their targets.
• The games starts when the music starts.

Rules:

• The only way that a player is out is if their thrown ball is caught in the air by an opposing player.
• A player goes to the slammer – the area behind the pins that they are throwing at - when their thrown ball is caught by someone on the opposing team.
• They get out of the slammer when they catch a ball thrown from a teammate. or they throw a ball from the slammer to a teammate.
• The games is over when all of the pins are knocked down.
• However, The Most Fun Wins!
