Skills gained are throwing, catching, running and changing direction quickly. Select 2 to 4 students to be up front as the attackers, each with 2 balls in their hands. The rest of the class is lined up behind a back line as a starting point. The teacher has the attackers stand with their backs to the class so they cannot see them coming. After all the balls have been thrown, the attackers pick them up and the game goes from the beginning again.
Special populations using crutches can be attackers.
This activity is easily incorporated into any school's interdisciplinary plan. When working with special populations, especially mentally challenged, we have to remember the basics. We take for granted our ability to quickly recognize colors. Therefore, we need to incorporate these basic recognition skills into a fun game that students can relate to. The object of this game is to add a fun competition game to the recognition of colors.
