Game Description:
A fast-paced relay game. All you need are about 2 bean bags per participant and four hoops.
Objective:
Get students heart rates elevated. An ongoing game that ends when the time runs out.
Game Rules:
Class is divided into four even teams and line up in a single file behind their hoop. Four hoops are places equal distance from the central hoop which contains 20-30 bean bags. When the whistle is blown, the first student in each line runs and collects a beanbag from the central hoop. Only once beanbag can be collected at a time. Students continue to run and take beanbags from the central hoop until there no beanbags left. Once the central hoop is empty, students may steal beanbags from other teams. This process continues until the allotted amount of time has run out.
Progression (optional):
Change the movement skill. Try skipping, galloping and hopping instead of running.
Ruckus with steals! You can steal an opponents beanbag if you tag him or her before they get back to their hoop. You can only steal if you have a bean bag and you can only steal a bean bag if your opponent has a bean bag. Ties are settled by Rock Paper Scissors.
