Game Description:
A great game to practice striking, balance and dodging.
Objective:
Try to knock off other players blocks while balancing their own blocks.
Game Rules:
Give each child two blocks. The participants will place the blocks in a T formation and balance them on the palm of one hand. When the instructor says go, participants try and knock one another's blocks off of their palms. When a participants block gets knocked off, they are not out of the game, they may continue playing and can now use both hands to knock off other payers blocks.
