January 31, 2012- Cleanup Your Backyard

Cleanup your backyard is a very simple throwing game.  You can play this game while teaching a throwing unit.  Students are divided into two teams.  The half court line of the basketball court separates the two teams.  The students may not cross the half court line.  The object of the game is to throw all of the equipment to the other side, and have no equipment left on your side.  When one team's side is clear of all equipment they have won the game.  (This game typically does not have a winner). 

AGES: Kindergarten and up

MODIFICATIONS: only throw left hand, kick the equipment, throw only underhand, throw only overhand, etc.  You can also put mats in the middle of the gym to create a "fence" for students to throw the ball over.

EQUIPMENT: dodgeballs, foam frisbees, foam balls of any kind, any PE equipment that can be kicked or thrown and will not hurt the students.
