Equipment:
- 1 ball.
Description:
- Make two lines of students so that the two lines are facing each other and, in each line, the students are standing shoulder to shoulder.
- Have a single student stand at the end of each line.
- Select a ball that will best suit your class’s size/ability level.
- Have one of the 2 students from either end start with the ball.
- Have the students in the line hold the wrists or hands of the person across from them, and remind them to stand as close as they can together.
- The teacher sets the timer for 1 minute.
- When the teacher says “Go” and starts the timer, the student with the ball sets it on the “wave” and the students must, working as a team, roll the ball all the way down the wave to the other student at the other end (by lifting and lowering their arms so that the ball can roll).
- Each time either end-student catches the ball, the class gets a point.
- If the ball ever touches the ground, or if any student breaks their hold with the student across from them, the timer stops and the game must be re-started.
- Do as many times as you like and then put your class’s total on the board.
