Game Description:
Great activity for a station idea! Works on striking and tracking skills!
Objective:
Children attempt to hit the laser with half pool noodles or fly swatters.
Game Rules:
Leaders use a laser pointer by pointing it on the wall and floor. The children will attempt to hit the laser. The leaders can increase tracking ability by moving the laser from low to high positions, side to side, and increase movement from slow to fast. This will ensure that the children are using different types of striking such as overhand, underhand and backhanded strikes.
Saftey Considerations:
Be sure to clear area of any objects.
