Variations:
Have all teams enter from one end line
Winning team remains on queens/kings court losing team joins the end of the
waiting line
Or: if using two waiting lines, to make sure one team does not remain on all the
time, have a limit of three consecutive wins and then that team must go off the court
as well.
Catch, Toss, Set and Over
Equipment: two volleyballs (or substitute type balls)
Net in play
Description of Activity:
divide class into 2 groups
9 players on each side of the net will be on the floor at one time (3 rows with 3 in
each row)
begin by using a beach ball as the volleyball
this allows for greater reaction time
(ref) teacher throws the ball into play from the sidelines
the object of the game is to get the ball over the net like in regular volleyball
the official rules of lifting, holding, throwing etc. do not apply
any part of the body may be used to return the ball (caution with kicking of the
ball)
when the ball hits the floor, pick it up and throw the ball back into play
Rotation: When the teacher calls rotate, the last row of 3 players will rotate to the
center row. The center row rotates forward to the front row and the front row rotates
to the back of the court. ( an alternative rotation could be to do so in an S manner,
one place at a time)
after playing with one beach ball, the ref will throw one more into the playing area
and eventually another so that 2 or 3 balls are in play at the same time
eventually the beach balls are taken out and replaced with the trainer/floater
volleyballs and eventually the actual official sized volleyball would be introduced a
few classes later
Blind Volleyball
Equipment needed: 3 beach balls
3 trainer (floater, large sized) volleyballs
1 official sized volleyball
1 volleyball net
2 parachutes or large blankets
Description of Activity:
set up the court the same way as in beach ball volleyball i.e. one net and 9 players
per side
drape 2 large blankets or parachutes over the net so that both teams will not be able
to see each other
players will not see the ball coming but only hear the play from their side
the ref puts the ball into play from the sidelines
follow all the same rules as beach ball volleyball
Description of Activity:
Divide class into four even teams (based on level of ability);
Set up four nets (which can be gym mats which are folded to look like nets);
Provide pinnies of like colour to the various teams;
Designate a net for each team to defend;
The object of the game is for all teams to attempt to close down the other three
nets in play;
This is accomplished by having five goals scored on that net;
Once five goals are scored on a net, that net is then closed down;
The team that had been defending that net now tries to assist others in closing the
remaining nets;
The last net standing/left open is the winner;
***Of note***
There are no goalies…no players are allowed to pick up the ball(s) with their hands as
would be the case if he or she was a goalie.
Sideline Soccer
Equipment needed: pinnies to differentiate between teams
soccer ball
end nets
Description of Activity:
Divide students into two teams
Select lines of 4-6 to play on each shift (do this for both teams unless students are
older and can do this on their own)
Use regular soccer rules while two teams try to score on each other
Students who are not on the regular court will line each side line(and end line if you
wish)
If the ball makes its way to a side line player, she/he can pick it up and do throw in
to a team mate
After a period of time, have next line/shift go onto the court
First shift students take the place of the players who are now on the court.
Description of Activity:
Partners choose their own space and stand 6-8 metres apart
Partners face each other
On the go signal, one partner attempts to pass/shoot the ball between their partners
out stretched legs
Then the partner who is trying to put the ball through the legs of the other person
must chase the ball and dribble it back to the starting point where she/he tries to
score again
Continue for i.e. 1 minute then switch roles
Partners count own goals scored winner assigns a task for the non-winner to
perform
Variations: Have a student act as a catcher and the ball must be delivered to that person
before the process can begin again…remember; all players are to have a turn before the
roles are switched. This activity is a variation of the game known as Alaskan Baseball.
End Ball
Players: 8-10 on a team (teams unlimited)
Equipment: Pinnies, basketballs
Area: Playground/ Gymnasium
Skills: Passing and Catching
Description of Activity
Two- Three players from each team are selected as end-zone players.
The object is for each team to throw the ball to a team mate in the end zone for a
score.
The game starts with one end zone team player in possession of a basketball. This
player tries to throw the ball to one of his/her fielders, and then the game begins.
There is no dribbling in this game, encouraging players to move without the ball.
Teams get a point for catching in the end zone and then a point for making the
basket after a designated amount of points; you may switch the end zone players.
Variation: Have more then one basketball going at one time, encouraging students to keep
their head up at all times and communicate where the pass is going to go.

Keep Away
Players: Individual or team
Equipment: Basketballs
Area: Playground/ Gymnasium
Skills: Dribbling, guarding
Description of Activity
The object of the game is to knock away a player’s ball from the playing area while
continuing to maintain your own dribble.
The same guarding principles in basketball apply, where the player can not make
physical contact with another player.
The ball has to be knocked out of the playing area in order for elimination to occur.
Variations/ Recommendations- Start with a large playing area, so that most people will
have success; decrease area as more and more people get eliminated. When students
start becoming eliminated, have students do around the world ball handling to work on
skills and keep active.
Sideline Basketball
Players: Any number (No more than 10 on the court at one time)
Equipment: Pinnies, hoops and basketballs
Area: Playground/ Gymnasium
Skills: All the skills in basketball, except dribbling
Description of Activity
The object of the game is to score as in basketball.
Each team is lined up and numbered off along the outside sidelines of the basketball
court.
The game is played like a regulation basketball game, with the exception that no
player within the court can pass directly to another court player.
The court players must pass it to a sideline player in order to advance the ball.
The ball may not be dribbled in the court.
Sideline players must stay off the court.
Numbers are called to determine the court players each time.
Once the ball has been scored, the court players return to the sideline, waiting to
hear the numbers of the next court players.
Scoring: Two points are given to the team who scored the basket.

Basketball Golf
Equipment: one basketball per foursome (group)
Description of Activity:
Students work in groups of 4 each with their own ball
While students are forming groups, place ”hole” numbers on the floor at each
basket so that there are 9 holes in all (using all baskets)
Each basket will have a few different holes with each hole marker indicating a
different place for taking the shot
Each foursome starts at a different basket and/or a different spot at the basket
(each basket will have 2-3 starting points depending on the number of baskets
your gymnasium contains)
Students move form hole to hole recording their accumulated score as they go…
this is done on the golf score card
Par is determined by the distance and the angle for each hole (starting point)
