We decided one additional rule about home runs this morning. Home runs: Grades 3-5 only. If a kicked ball hits the backboard/rim/net only of center hoop on opposite side of the gym (without touching ceiling!), that kicker gets a home run and all runners advance to home.
We start with students gathered to overview rules. Then, we divide into teams. I write the teams on the board and we keep score of runs. At the conclusion of class, I take a picture of the scoreboard (including the teams). This way, next class, we can easily pick up where we left off.
Students in my first two classes on Monday morning seemed to enjoy this game! It is fast-paced, and fun for all!
Credit and gratitude for this game goes to Judy Hart, retired Logan Elementary PE teacher. :)
