Equipment: assorted foam balls (about 20-25)
Ages: K-5
Number one rule: Slime (the balls) stays on the ground! Students run and hit the balls with an open hand to try and "slime" their classmates. A person is slimed if they are hit in the foot by a slime ball. When they are "slimed" they must go outside of a basketball court or to a designated area. Once there they are given an exercise- 5 jumping jacks, 3 pushups, 10 sit ups, etc. Once students finish their exercise they can come back into the game. Many students ask if they accidently hit a ball are they still required to do their exercise? I tell them that if they are hit in the foot any way they must complete their exercise.
Variation: Have different colored balls mean different exercises ex: Green= 3 pushups, Yellow= 5 jumping jacks, etc.
This game is usually played "every man for himself" but can also be played as teams.
