Odd Ball

Game Description: 
A fast paced game to help kids throw a ball
Objective: 
To keep the dodge balls off your side of the playing area
Game Rules: 
Divide the group into two teams, one for each side of the playing area. The goal of the game is to toss, not kick the balls on to the other team`s side. After five minutes the instructor will yell "stop". Then each team counts how many balls are on each side. The team with the most balls at the end loses.
Saftey Considerations: 
Look out for dodge balls flying, so no one gets hit in the face.
Adaptations (optional): 
Tell the children they have to kick the ball to the other side of the playing area instead of throwing. You can also have the players kick or throw the ball.
