  • 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!
